PA and DA?  Is that like page views, daily visitors, etc?  A lot of the programs I work with look at Google Analytics to see how many visitors I get.  But they also do take Alexa into account and Google Page rank.  Along with this they also look at how many social media followers I have.

Do any seasoned Alexa Veterans have any advice for me?  I have been working on my Alexa since March.  I went from 2.3 million to 145K globally and I am at 30K in the US.  I feel like I have plateaued. My score has not really budged since them.  My links in seem to go up by a few each week but the score stays the same. 

 

Any tips for pushing through to the next level?

I know Yakezie challenge is all about Alexa. But, lately I haven't seen an interest in market for Alexa rank. It's all about PA and DA lately. Advertises have easy access to your SE visitor numbers, then don't go by Alexa rank. 

 

So, just concentrate on webmaster tool, DA and PA. And stop worrying about Alexa or any other rank. Even when some look at it, the moment they find Yakezie logo on the site, it doesn't matter any more.

Short intro, my name is Renaud. Living in British-Columbia, BC. Started digging personal finance after reading The Richest Man in Babylon and taking on the challenge to pay of a debt of $32000. 

 

Looking forward to meet you all at FinCon one day. Alexa ranking is: No Data but will keep you updated.

My goal: top 100,000 Alexa Rank within a year.

Update: Alexa Ranking 15,056,716 woot! ;-)

Hi everyone,

 

My name is Steve and I've been blogging over at Kapitalust (formerly The Silver Maple Leaf) for 1 year and 1 month. I think I heard about Yakezie when I started back in July 2013 but didn't look much into it. I went through a bit of a blogging crisis, almost quit, and now back with a refocused sense of what I am doing and writing about!

 

My Alexa ranking is 940,061 and I hope to have it below 200,000 by the time the 6 month challenge is up!

 

I'll be announcing my Yakezie challenge in tomorrow's weekly roundup post!

Thanks for having me everyone! 

Welcome aboard

Hello All!

We registered with Alexa in May 9th this year and was ranked at 11,317,293 (Geesh) and since then have moved up the ladder to 482,373 (Yee-haw!). Still haven't broken the 200,000 but now that we've signed up for the Yakezie challenge we feel we will reach that goal soon. Glad to be here!

Hi Brandy & Stephen, I'm happy to learn about your blog. I've subscribed so I can be sure now to stop by and comment. Best wishes for the run to 200,000.

Thanks Money Counselor! Much appreciated and reciprocated. We've since broken the 300,000 mark!

Hey Yakezie Challengers,

We're back! It's been a while (two kids and a new house later), but I'm ready to tackle this challenge and win this time. My rank is currently, 525,037 now. I've been blogging since 2010 – but not with the consistency that is needed. My internal goal is to reach 200,000 by the end of the year. I've been less than focused on blogging and hopefully reconnecting with the challenge will change that!!! Here goes…

Hi everyone,

I'm Nina and I blog at RichLife.io. I'm interested in joining the challenge but my blog is so new (a month and two weeks) that I am not even ranked in Alexa yet. Should I wait until I get ranked to make my announcement post or can I already get started? Do I understand correctly that to be eligible to join I need to make a blog post announcing it and then after 6 months join in the next round of invites? It seems like a great way to hold yourself accountable so I'd like to start off on the right foot.

Welcome aboard

Hi.  A few minutes ago I wrote a very long post here giving you all my blogger life story.  Somehow it disappeared, it seems. Isn't that always the way?  So, I will now post a shorter version, which is probably better for everyone :)

 

I actually undertook my own personal Alexa Challenge back in March.  I blogged about this. However, I am not sure if I should post the link because I suspect that might be why my post disappeared before.  Suffice to say that in March my rank was 2.3 million globally and over 300K in the US.  Today my rank is 144K globally and 30K for the US.

 

I have been blogging for a very long time (over ten years) but really only committed to it 100% (I dropped all my other work at home jobs) for a little over a year. 

 

I look forward to being a part of this community and connecting with others.  I'd love to read and comment on other blogs and share them, too!  Is there a specific forum I should be heading to so that I can do this?  I am literally brand new and still feeling my way around.

Awesome progress. Looking forward to making more progress with this challenge this time.

Hi! I'm Sarah and I'm joining in on the challenge. My website is brand new so I don't even think I am ranked on Alexa. Excited to see where this challenge takes me and looking forward to meeting fellow bloggers!

Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
