Compete Rank and Alexa Rank

It is possible that there are bloggers who don’t care about their stats, but I am not one of them. If You Write It’s Google Pagerank is 3 and my Alexa Rank is-at the moment-148,702. I just installed the Compete add on for Firefox and it tells I have a Compete rank of 17-which is the Compete Rank for Blogspot-individual blogspot blogs don’t rate a rank on Compete. I am no longer listed on Real Rank as I have gone on record saying some pretty unpleasant things about PayPerPost-mainly that it sucks. And since Real Rank is really Payperpost Rank,…

Blog Changes-Pagerank, Alexa, Etc

Or the Rise and Fall of If You Write It. My random thoughts blog about trendy things has lost its small amount of Pagerank, which was 3 until fairly recently, and is now 0. This is not a great tragedy, except for my small trickle of income from paid posts that wanted a blog with a Pagerank of at least 3.

I am not sure how you become one of the Big Dogs, but there are a handful of blogs that show up in the Most Popular and Most Recommended sections everyday. Sam is usually at the top of these EntreCard lists. His blog can be interesting and he has a way of talking that gets people’s attention. Sam recently wrote a post about Entrecard Link Love. He’s for it, so long as you do it his way. Ok, a small digression. What is link love? Old style link love…

Alexa Rank–Alexa Ranking Test

Alexa Rank is the Internet Hit Parade that counts people who look at your site using the Alexa Toolbar. The first step is to use the Alexa Toolbar yourself. You can find the Alexa Toolbar at Alexa.com. Alexa Ranking is important if you want to use services like PayPerPost or TLA. Since If You Write It is not in the Top 100,000, as of yet, my PayPerPost offers are in the five dollar a post range and not really worth bothering with. So I am looking at ways of Improving My Alexa Rank. Alexa is an odd bird though and…
