Is Alexa keep going down or is it my computer?

Hi,

I have been checking the rankings of a few sites today from time to time just out of curiosity and have noticed that most of the times trying I can't get alexa up at all. It is just bringing up an error page saying the site can't be found.

Yup,

it's been on and off all day for me too. I have an Alexa toolbar as part of a SeOpen FF extension and that works fine, but if I check out the traffic details I've been getting a similar message all day.

Cheers,
Paz.

Alexa blocks my ISP's entire range (TPG australia).. I have to use a proxy to get to it. Very annoying.

Alexa.com site is blocking firefox in Sri lanka. (Asia pacific)

I have had this problem also with Alexa blocking my IP - DMOZ and Overture have been known to do the same thing as well. In my case, it's from running too many queries in too short of a time frame though ;)

Not only they block IPs, they do not count hits from banned IPs. However, we do not have static IPs in Sri Lanka. I can see alexa reconnecting after disconnection the net connection.

I have had the same problem as well, one minute its up next its down

The alexa images are always down. It might be becasue they are changing servers/hosts?

My assumption, don't take rely on it lol.
