Shows data for Humanic.at

Its weird because I have a site about online marketing and many people
keep bringing this to my attention. What do I need to do ?

I have never had any affiliation with humanic.at

To my suprise they responded really fast with:

Dear Jeremy,

Thank you for contacting Alexa Internet. Regarding the listing of the sites you mentioned:

When Alexa crawls the Web, it merges together sites which we think have the same content. When we merge two or more sites, we combine their traffic to form one ranking and list them under the domain with the most traffic. With tens of millions of domains on the Internet, our automated procedures for determining which hosts are serving the same content may sometimes be incorrect and/or out-of-date due to ownership or content changes.

We will separate the sites during our next update of the service. After we have separated the sites in 1-2 weeks, you can submit contact information for your site at:

http://info.alexa.com/data/details/editor?type=contact

We appreciate and thank you for your interest in Alexa.

Best regards,
Alexa Internet Customer Service

We will see how it goes……
