I bust the 200k barrier on the ww.getrichwithme.com without getting what i consider to be a large volume of traffic.

Alexa looks at how many other alexa badge users visit  sites as the determination for its metric. All of us Yakazie/PF bloggers have the  alexa button on our sites – which results in an inflated alexa ranking with all of us encouraging each other to visit and comment on each others blogs.

 

I also run a site for a fishing club – the fishing club site gets 5 times more traffic than http://www.getrichwithme.com but only has an alexa ranking of 4,500,000 – speaks volumes

 

Maybe page and domain authority are better indicators?

Well done! How'd you do? What brought the traffic on so quickly?

And yes, the next 100,000 will take you a bit, but it's not impossible if you keep publishing good content. Good luck on the next goal!

Today I broke the 200k barrier and am proud to have an Alexa rank of 199,221

 

I had an Alexa rank of 18,500,000 at the beginning of September

A rank of 3,500,000 when I accepted the challenge on the 9th September

 

Thanks everyone for all your support.

My challenge now is to try to break the 100k barrier.

I cant imagine that will be easy
