200,000 on Alexa? | Help Desk | Yakezie Forums

Hi all,

I'm excited about starting the Yakezie challenge. I've followed the list of requirements and added my name to the spreadsheet so can't wait to get started on Monday!

My page rank worldwide is 2.4 million. To become a Yakezie member it has to get below 200,000. I'm writing my blog because it means a lot to me, I've, like many, been through tough financial experiences and want to give back. However, I like the idea of being part of the community and want to give myself the best shot at completing the 6 month challenge. Would anybody have any tips for completing the challenge and getting below 200,000 on Alexa? I'm going to read up on SEO as it may make a difference, but anything else anyone can offer by way of advice will be warmly received.

Thanks,

Welcome!  Get active in the forum, visit other's blogs and interact (comment / promote) and you will see it in return!!!

Yes… Don't worry about the numbers. In a month or 2 you will be down under 200K or close to it. Read, comment and always come from the heart.  

Welcome to the challenge! We are current challengers and new bloggers as well. Once you start writing regularly and interacting with others, you'll see your number drop very quickly. When we started we were at about the same number you were. In just a few weeks, we are now at about 565,000.

Good luck, and we'll be sure to check you out!

Thanks Club Thirty, it's encouraging to see the progress you've made – it can be done.

Edward, thanks too. I'd love to know more about the Yakezie teams! I'm going to have a look for more information on this. I can imagine that being part of a focussed support group could benefit every website. Thanks for the tip mate!

Hi Moneysma, thanks for your comments.

Guys, you're right. In one week my rank has dropped from 2.4mil to 1.3mil. I didn't believe it but obviously hard work and the Yakezie way will ultimately yield success.

Thanks all again!

I can't understand it but I'm down at 480,000 from 2.4million. Collectively, working alongside people on the Yakezie forum really does make a difference. 

Although, I'm starting to notice my blog posts slipping. Slap on the wrist. Back to the website :-)

Well, I can't quite agree with "in a month or two" since I've been a challenger for about 4 months now and am in the 300Ks (which is a HUGE drop from where I started – 3 million); but if you read, and comment honestly and with content, then you'll definitely start to see a drop. I agree with Jai on that one. And I've found that since becoming more involved in Yakezie and being more active in supporting fellow Yakezie-ers (through blog roundups and twitter mentions mostly)that my score has dropped faster. And it's made me appreciate other bloggers better.

I use the "SEO All in One Pack" or some plugin like that, which has seemed to help my search engine hits (which has helped the alexa score).

I'm at 240K right now (so close!!) but also started up in the millions like you. One thing that seemed to really help me was Yakezie, and supporting other bloggers. Specifically, I'd go to other blog sites and leave comments about their posts. This supports them and brings traffic back to me (win win!). Also, I do a blog roundup every couple weeks and this seems to help too. It's another way of showing other bloggers that you dig them and send traffic their way; and many of them will turn around and support you right back!
