I agree with that. I recently had someone approach me about doing a major overhaul on his site and he kept bragging about his Alexa ranking. When I gave him more accurate information, he was disappointed.

I'd put Alexa up for potential advertisers, but my experience is that blocking my sites from Alexa outweighs the potential advertising benefits.

Obviously this varies for all of us depending on niche, so it comes down to a business decisions pro/con. Quite similar to Websense - sites which rely heavily on corporate traffic may not want to block it while others may find it beneficial.
