I just woke up today and my ranking dropped all the way down to 2,303,590 from closed to 5 million 3 days ago.  Is this possible?  How and why?  Sorry but I have spent 6 months getting it down from 10 million to 5 and now it's gone way down.  I am not complaining I am just very very curious.  Cool

This is the beauty of the Yakezie network! the Alexa rank is affected only by those that have the Alexa toolbar – if your previous visitors didn't have the Alexa toolbar installed, then those visits didn't help your rank. Here at the Yakezie, we ALL have it installed, so every visit from one of us will drop your rank considerably! Keep participating in the forums and commenting on our sites (anything to attract our visits), and your Alexa rank will plummet! Keep up the good work Jai!

Yep, 'Yakezie Effect' – ride the wave for the next 90 days, haha.  The ranking is actually an average of 90 days of traffic so your rank will be juiced for a while.  Just comment around and stay active and you'll be surprised!

Yes the Yakezie effect it is. Once more and more network members visit you and comment, your rank keeps going down. Plus you get to learn about linking opportunities from this network. It really is awesome.

 

Remember though that being part of the network is not for selfish gain. It really is about meeting others, helping out, and growing together.

Well said.  I agree.  This isn't for selfish gain.  That is the one thing I have loved on here so far.

Surprised is not the word.  I spent 6 months taking it down from 11 million to 5 million.  Now in one week I am under a million.  Cool

The comments are coming because the content is GREAT.  I talk about Yakezie to everybody.  They must think I am nuts.
