Anyone else facing problem.

It just resolved.. seems like a really bad new design. And have they been owned by Amazon for long?

edit* guess they have owned Alexa since 99. I seriously dont understand the importance of Alexa anymore. It seems any metric it provides is not accurate to the least.

They are having some sort of DNS/Routing failure I guess because it is not resolving most of the time.

Also looks like they have a problem from here. Though I can access their site:

Pinger alexa.com [107.21.234.115] med 32 byte data:
Anmodning fik timeout.
Anmodning fik timeout.
Anmodning fik timeout.
Anmodning fik timeout.

"Anmodning fik timeout." are the Danish translation of "Request timed out."

Alexa is pretty accurate considering you don't put any tracking code on your website. Compete.com is much worse.
