Hello I havent received an alexa update in along time, i receive over 100 visitors a day and it hasnt moved a position or anything. ??? tyler
alexa updates everyday actually. Try to get more traffic and make sure your visitors have alexa toolbar installed
i dont know when alexa update. When i see the toolbar it's 151.365 but when i see in alexa.com it's 150.214. My friend talk about 3days it'll udate but i dont think so.
there's no way that it updates on a regular basis, I've had the same exact rank for half a year, and since then - I've gone from 50 hits per day to 250-300.
I say this from my own experience. So far Alexa has been updating the rankings once a week, usualy on Friday but recently I noticed changes more recently. Like yesterday I had 120,000 on Alexa and today I have 100,000. Compete stats showed for me after two months or so.
alexa updates every now and then [3 to 5 days], i can look into it if you pm me, regards, Uttoransen,
My 1-week Alexa rank updates ever 3 days or so, and my 3-month average updates around every 2 weeks. I think it updates popular sites faster than sites with low traffic.
alexa measures webmaster traffic. Most other every day users dont have it installed so dont affect it....
i used to have an Alexa rank of around 700,000 with 300-400 visits a day, now i am getting close to 800 per day and it gone up to 1,800,000. very bizarre
That's because Alexa doesn't mean a thing. You can have 10,000 visitors daily and have 8,000,000 Alexa rank or no rank at all. Alexa rank measures traffic based on their toolbar which means no stats for you if your visitors don't use the toolbar.
It also could be because other sites are getting more traffic than you, so the ranking has gotten more competative. For what it's worth, one of our sites gets around 50K hits per month, and we've got an Alexa score of 296K.
