Alexa Tweaks?

It seems to me that many sites have recently showed a slight drop in Alexa rank lately. Facebook as mentioned in my last post has slowed down slightly and I have noticed this on many other big sites. Is Alexa tweaking the way it analyses statistics? I’m losing interest in Alexa rankings to be honest, but this is something I will keep an eye on.
Thanks for reminding about Alexa. I am new to SEO and know little about Alexa. Can someone explain here about Alexa and others?
Alexa has clearly changed its algorythms. Whether that is good or bad is yet to be seen. Just because a few sites lose rank doesn’t mean the changes aren’t for the better.

Yup definitely Alexa is tweaking their algorithym. I am very much dissapointed how they rank sites and I am losing my trust on their service
I have this site site gameuber.com a month ago my site sits on 521,450 in rank after a couple of weeks it began to decrease(increase to million spot), when it reached 600,000 in that margin I realize that something was not right as I have been receiving a good amount of traffic I even have an article on that day that hits 2,500 + visitors so I was so happy that it will move its rank but to my surprise it went up to 650,000 in that margin. I was clueless, what the heck happened?
So I made some further investigation because my site sits now on 698,088 (while posting this comment) and I am very much worried because I checked the next month’s preview it will hit 1,028,697 in ranking so I downloaded the Alexa’s Top 1,000,000 Sites in CSV format (they say Updated Daily you can download the list in their site and check what rank your site sits) and I can’t believe it my site is nowhere to be found in the freaking list. Man this is a downfall if you have business they can take it away instantly.
