Alexa gets more broken every day. First all the images disappeared (and still do not work right) and now my site has a traffic development of MINUS 1.somthing million in a 1 week average.

the only thing is, this week i am among top 7000, last week i was among top 8000....

that thing is getting worse every day, and i really liked it! fix it, someone, please!

P!

That exactly happen to my site today.
I think it is temporary broken.
I use Alexa to monitor my site vs similar or competitors, my site is under 40,000 rating.

I just noticed they showed the last six referals to a site in the Overview. Is that new?

Hey, it is fixed now, it shows the correct ratings.

i think i found out, what is wrong with the thumbnails after "i can not believe it" for a few weeks now:

alex is not showing thumbnails, if you do not show your REFERER!

afraid of scrapers :-)? think so!

P!

nice find, pontifex.

On the subject of Alexa bugs: I've found that Alexa doesn't seem to handle multiple IP addresses for a site very well. During an extremely busy period I did IP load balancing to three different servers and my traffic dropped on Alexa while it was up 50% in reality.
