I got Ranked and not Ranked on!

Thursday, March 6th, 2008 | Tech Corner with

I have written 2 other blogs on web site ranking according to Alexa. I use both Alexa and Quantcast to see how well my site is performing rank wise. Alexa ranks from 1 to 16+ million and Quantcast ranks 1 to 21+ million web sites.

After 15 days Alexa finally updated, and I am very pleased with this update. We have improved from 411,877 to 182,673 from February 20th to March 6th! In 6 weeks here’s how we have progressed in ranking.

1/23 - 12,345,537
1/31 - 3,799,956
2/04 - 1,978,769
2/06 - 1,530,879
2/12 - 1,098,281
2/13 - 714,467
2/18 - 501,992
2/20 - 411,877
3/06 - 182,673
3/09 - 154,272

I realized that this significant gain in web ranking was not only a result from Entrecard who makes up 29.03% of our total traffic. I am currently advertising with 2 adverts and 3 social bookmark sites. I really took a close look at my detailed traffic according to Google Analytics and was impressed with my uniques, page views and bounce rate.

I am sure many of you will flock to see your updated ranking and why not, you deserve it!

One more thing I would like to add. In my last post about Alexa ranking update, I asked everyone to guess my Alexa ranking on the next update. The one who guessed closest would get 7 days of advertising!

We have a winner! Daily Tech Impressions. His guess was 250K.

    Yeah very nice work there. Any guesses on how many weeks until you break into the top 100,000?

    Andrew that is a huge barrier to say the least. I am not sure that I can break that in the next few updates, but by June for sure as my partner and I are creating a site for bloggers to advertise without any tremendous time invested. The project will be written in Java which to me is much more secure and state-of-the-art.

    Thanks for the comment!

    Very helpful post on strategies to increase rankings. I always wondered if EntreCard improved Alexa, now I know.

    You can get into the top 100k! I did it. And I am a moron. Entrecard bumped me from 78k to 74k, so it definitely has an effect.
