Also, I'd recommend hosting a blog carnival.  It's a great way to let fellow bloggers know you exist, and you get a ton o' links in the process.

Do you have any tips for those of us in the 1M+ ballpark right now? :)

Keep participating, commenting, writing, and promoting and the rank will keep falling.

You'll drop quickly just by being a yakezie challenger and commenting on other members posts regularly.  We all have an Alexa toolbar, so the more often we check your blog (and we will quite often) the quicker your ranking will drop.  You'll be below a million before you know it...

@Single Saver --- Good job, I see you have been moving along quickly!  I was reading through this thread and realized I had commented exactly 2 weeks ago when I was at 2 million, and now Im sitting at 790k!

You are moving along pretty quickly, yourself!  Good job!  I will be watching your progress.  It won't be long now until you hit 200,000!

That's a very impressive drop in a short amount of time. Congratulations!

 

And, yes, I'm impatient like you. My ranking dropped below 600,000 for the first time today. It was good to see a number with a '5' in front of it.

Julie, congratulations!  I remember how nice it felt to see that 5, too!  You have a nice site... you'll hit your goal in no time! 

I woke up this morning to see that I have officially dropped below 300,000, so I now have only 96,000 to hit the 200,000.  Since I suspect this 100,000 will be even slower than the previous 100,000 I am trying to be patient.  It is comforting to hear I am not the only impatient one!  LOL!

It's very special.... Congrats and 200k will be here before you know it.

Thanks Forest, I hope so.  I am getting a little frustrated by the slower pace lately.  I keep telling myself that a slow and steady drop is probably better from a long-term sustainability standpoint than a sudden drop. 

Hey Challengers... are any of you as impatient as me?  :)
