The 1 week average does this better so I'm going to add this to the list too, however this figure in theory proves that putting an Alexa button on your site doesn't affect your traffic rank, because at 800 daily visitors it says the week's estimate is 1,389,963 which isn't reflective of the visitor count in my opinion. 03/06/2007 Update: 1,439,167 (up 52,082)nnVisitor numbers still consistent.nnI'm starting to wonder how Alexa works, afterall the traffic rank on the Alexa site says '3 months average' so even if your site goes from dead quiet to busy as heck, because the rank is a 3 month average it won't necessarily reflect a busy month or week.
