There is something very wrong with this... last night I had a bad nightmare.  Want to guess what it was about?  I dreamed that my Alexa ranking went UP!  And I was really upset when I woke up, too.  I have to be the only person dorky enough to have a Yakezie-related nightmare.  Laugh  I thought some of you might get a good laugh out of that!
 
By the way, I checked the stats first thing this morning (just in case) and all is well... things are still dropping and I am now around 175,000.  Whew!
 
By the way, I posted a nice article this morning detailing how I reduced my electric bill by 30%, if anyone is interested. 

 

I guess I'm plenty dorky too, but I dream that I'm posting.  I'm typing away like crazy with some cool new idea.  Ha!  Very impressed with your Alexa rating!

I would say use it for what Yakezie intends and then forget about it. On the other hand I get stressed out when I miss my posting schedules, we are all dorks in one way or another :)

Because of this, my Alexa ranking on my main site has suffered big time. It went from around 43k to about 58k (about a 33% decline)!!! My secondary site has been stagnant around 160k for the past month as well.

Focus on your content and your traffic will increase organically thanks to SE and readers who enjoy coming back.

However, it doesn't worry me too much. I just try to focus on my postings, commenting on other sites, working hard for Yakezie, etc. It will all work out in the end!

 

I was actually informed recently that Alexa rankings are only based on visits to your site from people that have the alexa toolbar installed (aka other bloggers, site owners). That could also be affecting rankings.

If only I can stop checking my sitemeter/google analytics as well, I will be golden... I am still obsessed with traffic though. I might get nightmares about seeing 0 visits Wink

I'm actually surprised that I've never had a similar dream since I get pretty obsessed about it sometimes.

You may find that your Alexa does increase at some point after making a lot of gains.  Don't sweat it, everything works out!

 

Happy Dreams!
