Quick question guys... how often is alexa ranking updated? is it updated daily, weekly, monthly, or annually?!
I believe it doens't take thaat long for it to be updated, I've seen some people that used it to compare results within few months of existence, I guess they must update it at least monthly
Well it's actually updated daily... If you want to see yesterday's rank, just lookup your site on alexa.com (although it won't give you a daily rank if you're not in the top 100k.) The average displayed on the toolbar is for 3 months, and you'll see updates on that every few days to a week or so, depending on which toolbar, Firefox extension, etc that you are using.
Then you need to learn to read alexa.com 1. Go here: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/digitalpoint.com 2. Scroll down to "Traffic Rank for Digitalpoint.com" 3. Look under "Yesterday" Repeat daily and you'll see a new daily rank.
I never asked myself about this even im check my alexa daily. Maybe due to less increment on my alexa i never notice it been updated daily.
This is listed on their webpage. Ranking is updated early in the week (sun or mon) and the graph updates maybe every 36 to 48hrs. But a lot of the time it updates and only has half the data, so that explains any sharp declines at the end.
