as it says really ,i'm guessing monthly why is it not done weekly?

Yeah, it is monthly.  I think the main reason it isn't more frequent than that is computing power/resources.  It takes quite a lot of time to scrape the entire internet, that's a lot of websites to download and analyze.  It probably also has something to do with their bandwidth costs.  I'm sure if you up it to 4 times a month you just quadrupled an already very expensive bandwidth bill.

I'm not 100% sure this is the reason, but it seems like a likely answer in my mind.

Crawling a large number of website and calculating the metrics takes some time.  We are currently on a schedule to update every 30ish day but are working to decrease the time it takes.  Stay tuned.

I guess that confirms my suspicions then.

many thanks had a big link building month

Seems like it must be a little behind this month then, as we are already 38 days since the last update.  Any word on when it will likely come out this month?

Crawling the web can be complex and problems can pop up like they did this month. We are working to increase the speed at which we release updates and this crawl we ran into a problem that forced us to start over, hence the longer delay.  Otherwise it was going to be out on the 11th of July.  Sorry for the delay.
