KNS, good job!  I just checked out your site and it is very good!

Money is the Root – don't get overwhelmed.  I started on 2/18 with an Alexa ranking of 4,850,710.  Today (3/8 – just 18 days later) I am at 599,603.  I am dropping some every day and that is a rewarding feeling.  I would love to hit 200,000 by 3/15 and at the rate I am going I think that is a realistic goal.  We'll see!

Here are some easy things you can do to improve yoour ranking (in addition to what KNS has already said):

1.) Add content often – if not daily, at least a few times per week.  If the site doesn't have new content, people won't come back as often.

2.) Guest blog on other sites, or allow people to guest blog on your site.  Guest blogging is a great way to share viewers and expose your viewers to new blogs.

3.) Don't be afraid to ask questions here.  I felt a little self-conscious at first because, elt's face it, there are some really good bloggers who are active in this forum.  But I need not have worried.  Everyone has been very helpful and I have learned a lot already.  I consider myself web savy, but blogging is a whole other beast and there is lots to learn frome ach other.

It is definintely easier to drop from the millions to the hundreds of thousands than get over that last hurdle. The sites are more competitive in the lower ranks.

Congrats Khaleef.  Keep up the good work on your site and your money/weight goals.  I've enjoyed getting to read you regularly on two different sites (as well as all your other regular gigs).

Khaleef

1) congratulations to you ! wow

2) what a great initiative to instill discipline, hold yourself accountable to your words and commitments publicly. awesome

3) because your blogs are tearing up alexa, has this resulted in any quantifiable / tangible result (i.e. vendors contacting you interested in advertising on your site, etc?)

4) all the best – and please reach out if i can do anything to help

Over the last week, I received a lot of emails, but I have to take time to sort through them to see if any of them are meaningful.

I definitely plan to take you up on your offer!
