The teams have helped my Alexa ranking but I've found that commenting here in the forums helps your Alexa ranking even more.

You lost me on this one. How does commenting here boost Alexa on your site? Unless you mean that people are going to click through to your site via the signature link? Otherwise, I don't see any correlation between the two.

Commenting here doesn't directly boost Alexa on your site. It is like you said people see a comment here and click through to the site. Or maybe seeing one of my comments here reminds someone that they haven't visited my blog for a while and they check it out later. I can't say for sure that is what is happening but I have noticed that when I comment frequently in the forums my Alexa goes down and when I stay away from the forums for a while my Alexa goes up.

Hope it turns around in Jan & Feb especially with the group thing. The funny thing is traffic is doing well, in fact it may be the highest it's ever been, but reader engagement could be better.

My Alexa did an annoying climb from the 70s to the 110s so it might be time for me to join one of the groups as well.

I've had a very similar amount of change as you. It's a bummer but since it's happening to all of us hopefully it's just a seasonal and temporary thing.

Thanks, I appreciate that! I finally figured out that's what that "slacker" thread was for for this month and last. ;)

I totally missed the whole team thing somehow before this thread. Where are the signups and whatnot?

The teams run for a two month period and I believe it is currently running through Dec. A topic for Jan-Feb should be out soon. My problem is that I always seem to miss the topic and thus have not yet signed up for the teams.

If we both manage to miss the Jan-Feb team assignments, I'll make it a point to email you and we can assemble an unofficial group.

I have been a member of a group for November and now December. My actual traffic increased 50% per Google Analytics. I realize that many of these visitors do not have an Alexa bar, but the group members do. The number of comments has increased because of the group (15 memebers). Something else is going on! As recently as the beginning of October I was as low as 82K and now I am in 98K. The number of comments were similar but I did change my publishing dates from M, TH & Sat to M, W, & F. That is the only real change. I wonder if that is enough to have a nealy 20% change?

My Alexa ranking for both sites has gone up over the last 2 weeks. I was at about 47k for KNS, and not it stands at over 54k. Fat Guy was down to about 87k and is now about 96k!

Mine Alexa has started dropping rapidly since joining the Slacker team, which is wonderful. I've been doing my best to get caught up on everyone else's blogs after getting sick, and I've pulled together a list of my favorite recent posts (mostly from my team but including some other Yakezie blogs) to go up tomorrow or Friday. The Stumble group has helped some too, but I keep not getting around to sending out more links.
