I'll look that up later. The chart seems too volatile to be a 90DMA, though. Especially since we (and all other market-related sites) dip consistently on weekends in the chart.

On a related note, we set a number of records the day before yesterday. Well, another 2 records were set yesterday. Our 7DMA pageviews count and 7DMA post count. Pageviews yesterday would've been a record were it not for the record set on Monday.

I just checked on Alexa. We're both right and we're both wrong.

The Trend graph shows you a three-day moving average of the site's daily traffic rank, charted over time. The daily traffic rank reflects the traffic to the site based on data for a single day. In contrast, the main traffic rank shown in the Alexa Toolbar and elsewhere in the service is calculated from three months of aggregate traffic data.

Makes more sense and I think that means the labels aren't wrong. Our pageviews (and likely reach) on weekends is typically less than 1/3rd what it is on weekdays. We'll be doing something soon that'll hopefully change that a bit.
