Alexa Website Images

[Help Desk]

Does anybody know why Alexa would have the wrong image of my site?

Strange indeed. Try going here http://thumbnails.alexa.com/update_thumbnail and see what happens after 24-48 hours.

I have seen this occur recently with some of my client sites. Not quite sure why...

Their page rendering technology needs work. At one point digitalpoint.com showed as a porn site.

I did that last week and still nothing. The image that shows up in our profiles is better technology than Alexa's.

Alexa's been having all sorts of problems lately, apparently they moved data centers - I wouldn't expect anything to be functioning how it normally does on alexa for a week or so.

while alexa may do updates automatically every now and then if site is in DMOZ directory
a direct request as mentioned by others always works within a day or 2 the new thumbnail shows up

This thread was only around 2 years old.

alexa is much older than most sites on th eweb nowadays
and IMO still helpful with new tools and services
