Today I see that my Alexa rating is at 214,303.  If I continue at my current pace I should be below the 200,000 mark in 3-4 days!  When I hit that mark I am going to have a special surprise for a couple Yakezie Challengers so stay tuned!  |  |  |  |

Thanks, guys.  It has been a fun journey thus far.  I started out on 2/18 with a ranking of 4,850,710… I never thought I'd see 200,000 by July (which is when I think the next review is), if ever!  Since then, I have had a steady decrease.  it hasn't always been a quick as impatient me would like, but it has been steady and consistent.  More importantly, I have already learned so much from all of you!    When I hit the 200,000 I will be announcing a little surprise that I hope will help and support a couple other Challengers out there.       |  |  |  |

 My secret?  I wish I knew!  The bulk of my traffic actually comes from non-Yakezie referring sites.  I think the fact that I have new content every day helps drive traffic.  In the last month I have had 8000+ page views and 3700+ visitors (2600 unique).  I realize that is still small but it has given me encouragement as I see the numbers grow.     I hope as I continue to grow I can give back to the Yakezie community, and its members and challengers like so many of you have done for me.  Yakezie is truly a wonderful community of bloggers.       |  |  |  |

Congratulations!!  Just as an fyi, the Alexa jump will start to level off once you get below 200,000 unfortunately.  You have made great leaps, I just wanted you to know so you would not get frustrated if you see your ranking stall for a little bit.   Keep up the great work! |  |  |  |

Yep good luck and congrats in advance! Alexa gets exponentially more difficult as you progress so you won't always be going up but you can get into a nice range. |  |  |  |

Thanks for the support, everyone.  I thought I would announce that today, 4/17/11, I am officially below the 200,000 mark at 199,544.  This is indeed an exciting day for me!  Now, I promised a surprise and I will deliver.  I will announce it here in a separate thread, probably later today.  Stay tuned!     |  |  |  |
