do hits to a subdomain affect alexa rank?

If I create a subdomain of my website do hits to that subdomain help with the alexa rank of my home page?

for example my home page is hxxp:// www . evenhosting.com if I make hxxp:// yoursite.evenhosting.com and a lot of people visit hxxp:// yoursite.evenhosting.com does it help hxxp:// www . evenhosting.com's alexa rank?

I tried to look at Alexa doc. and here is the words I found ...

===================================================
Alexa?s traffic rankings are for top level domains only (e.g. domain.com). We do not provide separate rankings for subpages within a domain (e.g. www . domain . com/subpage . html) or subdomains (e.g. subdomain.domain . com) unless we are able to automatically identify them as personal home pages or blogs, like those hosted on Geocities and Tripod. If a site is identified as a personal home page or blog, its traffic ranking will have an asterisk (*) next to it: Personal Page Avg. Traffic Rank: 3,456*. Personal pages are ranked on the same scale as a regular domain, so a personal page ranked 3,456* is the 3,456th most popular page among Alexa users.
===================================================

but for me the answer is still not clear, so do visitors to subdominas also affect Alexa rank for the main domain?

Also as a side question, is ifram traffics counts w.r.t. Alexa?
