If you're wondering why Alexa doesn't show a graph like this anymore, it's because shortly after I posted this, the 3/31 numbers were added. They were lower than the 3/30 numbers (not surprising given that 3/31 was Saturday), which lowered the 2- or 3-day average Alexa uses to create graphs. So not so impressive anymore. In fact, if you turn off the averaging, it looks like WW got a similar spike for its 1/10 "Loopy Laws" edition. Play with the smoothing here.
