The Question and Answer Board

Alexa looking a tad screwy. The daily chart seems to be way out of synch with the numbers they're showing. For example, they show that our single-day ranking yesterday was 4334, but if you look at the chart, the line is around 14k. I think the scales on the charts are screwed up.

Surprising, too, to show a dip for yesterday on the graph, although the numbers do seem to reflect reality.

Yesterday we set a record for posts in a single day, 7DMA posts, ad impressions (despite a Happy Hour of something like 4 or 5 hours), and total pageviews.

And in keeping with that, Alexa shows our reach yesterday ranking 16,026 with 65 viewers per million and pageviews ranking of 1359 (definitely a record) with 44 pageviews per user.

So everything looks right at Alexa except for the labels on the chart and the line moving down yesterday when all the numbers moved up quite a bit.

Edit: For comparison's sake, SI moved up well on the chart (the labels look wrong on theirs, too), their single-day overall ranking for yesterday was 3,595 (still a good 7-800 above us), 155 viewers per million reach (their reach has always been better than ours) and a pageviews rank of 2482 at 10.4 pages per user (our stickiness has been better than theirs for a long time).
