    Alexa updates the indexed pages on daily basis but the rank is updated every 3 to 5 days depending on changes your website undergoes.

    Not all the sites will be updated daily.
    It may take few days some times to update the alexa ranking.
    @ macstop
    If your traffic is increasing day by day .
    Your site ranking will be increased in Alexa. And if it stable at one place, your ranking ( Alexa's ) will go down day by day .
    Alexa is the free tool to estimate our traffic daily, monthly basis.
    And you can see the unique backlinks you have.

    Well for my blog alexa was always updating every day at least from the day I first started checking alexa, but it seems from what other warriors said that it's natural...

    If you compare your alexa profile page with any other URL , even the top sites like youtube or google, you will see that for all domains, alexa.com updates profile pages all at the same time( with same delay) no matter what your traffic is.
    So even knowing that your alexa rank fluctuates daily, alexa.com shows changes every few days( 2-5)
    Currently all profile pages show 5 days delay.
    Today is July 12th and alexa.com shows ranking data as of July 7th for every website in the world.

    Sorry I am going to do something here I normally hate being done to me, answering a question with a question, but here it goes anyhow.

    Alexa serves absolutely no purpose except for collecting data on people who visit your website using the alexa toolbar. The alexa rank is easily manipulated, and will not get you any more traffic, so why do you care?

    Alexa search is powered by Google just so you know.

    If it does not lead to more traffic and conversions, it is a bad business practice to even check the silly thing. Don't worry about it.

      I know the question was not for me but let me give you an answer.
      First of all, advertisers scan potential providers via alexa rank.
      They spend lots of money just to get their hands on specific niche, alexa rank top 100K, top 10K etc lists.
      Once your blog makes such a list you get real calls from advertisers.
      Of course the next step is to prove the traffic is real but for that to happen you need to stand out via your alexa rank to even be considered in the 1st place.
      Makes sense?
      Now, many webmasters have nice traffic on their blogs but because most of their visitors are not SEO oriented and have no clue about alexa toolbar etc , their 2-5K/day traffic still does not necessarily translates in to low alexa rank.
      So what webmaster are to do?
      Inflate their alexa rank to match their real traffic or keep on sending their traffic stats all over the net in hopes someone will open their email.
      From my own experience I know it does work either way but why not put your own alexa rank to work 24/7 ?
      So in essence, webmasters do not need low alexa rank for higher traffic, they need low alexa rank to justify their already in place high traffic.
      I personally , besides traffic/alexa rank I look at SERP's and PR
      High ranking website with proven targeted traffic is where I want my banner to be at.

        What is abnormal is to be obsessed with something like
        alexa. It's meaningless. This thread has spawned alexa
        spammers. That's insane.

        Alexa was created by amazon.com to enhance their web
        footprint. It's nothing more than a tool for amusing
        oneself. Nothing more, nothing less.

        Worry about something that actually matters.
