Alexa Widget vs Toolbar

I've noticed a huge drop in our alexa ranking over the last 6 months, but our server site stats are showing an increase. I'm assuming this is because of the merge from xp to vista and not reinstalling the Alexa bar. So, looking around some suggested adding a widget to our site so as to collect better statistics (I assume that this would be comparable to the urchin script we installed for Google analytics). Please check our site widget at the bottom of this page eldoradoguide.com/dir
Is my understanding of the widget correct? Does it gather visit counts?

Actually i read some where that, using alexa stats widget on your site will count on behalf hit from a computer using alexa toolbar. But with my own personal experience I am sure that, it is absoluetly wrong. So right now I am in a great confusion.

I ended up pulling it off my site after a one week test. It didn't do squat.
