Problem Fixed

At last I have managed to fix the problem. Because of the API change the format was different, so it was actually my script that was getting confused. If a site did not have values for all 3 reach per million categories, it would move on to the next line of the API which usually contains a large number (hence the massive price increase). Anyways now that crisis is over, if you do spot any bugs please let me know asap. I am sorry for the inconvenience (or convenience for many of you).

Millions and Millions

There is a bug, either in my code or the new Alexa API, that seems to make some websites worth a substantial amount more than they are. I am looking into the problem and have contacted Alexa, but this is why some people have suddenly earned millions from one website. I sincerely apologise, but there is nothing I can do except try to find the solution soon. I cannot revert the site back to a few days ago as I only have fresh backups, and I am sure people would not take too kindly to this. So sorry for the inconvenience, I know its not fair on some people, but all I can do is apologise until the problem is fixed.

New Code

Alexa have changed the way users access their API, so I had to update my code to send the new strings. That was easy enough, but what I didn't realise was that their API format had also changed, so sites no longer updated on Alexa Share! After spending a frantic half-hour trying to get it working again I finally succeeded, however if anyone spots any problems please let me know asap through the contact form.
Phew... I am still shaking!

Home

Yes I am back, happy new years everyone! I know there have not been many Alexa Share developments recently, but that is because most of you guys said in your comments that there is nothing they would want changed. This is good news and I am glad that Alexa Share provides a great game to you all! I have a few things that I want to add/change but all in good time.
