there currently is a problem with the schudled task that is added, to fix it just go to the schuduled task manager and edit the Alexa rank one add the needed info (description, just make anything up) and save it... Then its up and running.

If you do not do this it will say that its next run time will be in 1969... lol

it's good if you want to show everyone that there are 500,000 sites that are better than yours xD. But seriously cool hack, well done.
