Alexa Site and Toolbar Down Today This Morning
This morning I’ve noticed that the entire Alexa.com site seems to be down and some other sites which feed off of Alexa, like Alexaholic, are not able to serve Alexa info. After opening my Internet Explorer browser to view some Alexa stats on its toolbar, I also noticed that the Alexa toolbar is not working and serving the NO DATA message on all web sites.
Using Alexaholic, I tried to run an Alexa trends graph for the Photobucket post which was published earlier today on Search Engine Journal. Alexaholic was able to serve up files from thumbshots.alexa.com, but no other information.
This seems to be a fairly large outage with Alexa, given that both their toolbar and their site is down, although graph images posted on pages seem to be ok. One has to wonder if there is a problem with the service or if they are launching an upgraded Alexa site sometime this week.
