How often does Organic Traffic Data update?

[Grumpy_Carl]

The latest traffic I see is from week ending 2nd Jan 2011, this seems an overally long time to wait for a traffic update, given that tools such as Raven can provide live stats.

I was wondering the same thing... my last update was 1/2 and this notice has been showing for a couple days

Next Crawl in Progress!        Started:        Jan. 13th, 2012

Seems like it's hung or failed...

Cool! Evil Edna! Just an FYI, My last rank update was January 9th, and a new crawl is running right now.

Hi MisterG,

The traffic stats update once per week, but they are a little confusing in how they are displayed. We can definitely do a better job messaging.

A "week" runs from Monday thru Sunday, so if your traffic report says Week of: 1/2, this actually covers the time period from January 2nd to January 8th.

So your next traffic update will be Monday, which will cover 1/9 to 1/15.

(as I look at it, it definitely isn't intuitive in the Web App that these are the dates. I'll pass the message along to the team and see if they can make this more clear)

Thanks for the heads up!

Oh, by the way.

There are several different reports in the Web App that all update at different times.

1. Your Crawl - Each crawl takes about one week to complete and process the results. Generally, you'll see the results 5-7 days after the beginning of your crawl. If it's been significantly longer than that, contact the help team (help@seomoz.org)

The date of your crawl is dependent on the day you first set up your campaign. This cannot be changed.

2. Rankings - Once per week. Because rankings are checked independent of your crawl, the actual date they update in your campaign may be different than your crawl.

3. Traffic - Once per week. Always Monday though Sunday.

4. Link Analysis - About once per month, following updates in the Linkscape Index
