there currently is a problem with the schudled task that is added, to fix it just go to the schuduled task manager and edit the Alexa rank one add the needed info (description, just make anything up) and save it... Then its up and running.

If you do not do this it will say that its next run time will be in 1969... lol

it's good if you want to show everyone that there are 500,000 sites that are better than yours xD. But seriously cool hack, well done.

Hi! Can you make it so it can take your rank from the regional(country) top 100 list ?

Domenico 11-01-2006 12:36 PM

Mr Chad 01-07-2007 04:40 AM

I've tried on my site and does this work on forum in a subdir ?

tried it on http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com and it shows as 0
and I did runt he scheduled task

btw, when i run the scheduled task this is what I see

Done

12 days and no answer :(

Mr Chad 01-25-2007 01:30 PM
it no longer works. until i find the time to fix it. it will remain like that,

COBRAws 03-17-2007 03:37 PM
mmmmm until yesterday it worked without a problem, now it doesnt.


Looking at the code @ alexa.com I found that now, they use a premium tool for displaying this type of that on your/my site.

Code:
<span class="body"> Traffic Rank for SITE.COM:</span><span class="descBold">        &nbsp;<!--Did you know? Alexa offers this data programmatically.  Visit http://aws.amazon.com/awis for more information about the Alexa Web Information Service.--><NOSCRIPT><span class="gray small">JavaScript Required.</span></NOSCRIPT>
<SCRIPT>
document.write(String.fromCharCode(33+16,34+16,30+14,38+19,40+20,56+27,54+26,65+32,74+36,42+20,40+20,32+15,56+27,54+26,65+32,74+36,42+20,33+16,40+20,77+38,75+37,65+32,74+36,42+20,40+20,32+15,77+38,75+37,65+32,74+36,42+20,36+17))</SCRIPT></span>
So instead of storing the rank number on the DB, now the product should store the JS code.

It's much easier to use the code provided by Alexa themselves.

GoLDeNLaNd 03-27-2007 11:41 AM
