Post topic analysis to rock Alexa’s socks :)

in Alexa,blogging,blogging tips


Welcome to my blog

Well Thank God I’m not one of those bloggers that say Alexa and Page Rank don’t matter. But before I get into analyzing various topics that Blow shit up on Alexa I wanted to just say Don’t ever be fooled-this blog stays in the range on Alexa THAT I WANT. I have many times kept this blog hovering right around where no one but my friends see it. Believe what you want and NO I didn’t intentionally ask for a PR 3 :)
Ok now I also noticed some cool new features on Alexa. They expanded the FREE search information, which basically just indicates what keywords bring you traffic but NOW a little more then that. They way I read it,  it’s basically telling you what keywords to target because it includes information about search frequency and many other metrics.

Since I’m NOT a stats freak I just wanted to tip you off to take a closer look at Alexa.
Now I did let my traffic slide recently  but I wanted to share some numbers with you to show what contributed to a post one post dropping this blog over 40K on Alexa in one day. As the pic shows I was slipping and in crybaby mode so I didn’t post and had other things to worry about.

Now here’s the trick and the reason for this post.
Bloggers like post that they are forced to check out and hopefully participate in. Now I didn’t even think about it on that level as I grabbed a post from the drafts that day and added a little bit and hit publish.
See I was trying to take the day OFF and although I have many posts with better reactions this was a nice surprise post even if I had to see one or two blogs added as COOLEST  that  I didn’t agree with LOL :)
alexa.com Now your probably thinking man I know John Sullivan’s doesn’t give a DAMN about Alexa and your right, matter of fact your probably thinking I was just going to cut and paste and  KEYWORD Spam this whole post with the keywords I saw  on Alexa, Guess what your right :)

Alexa Traffic Rank

A measure of a website’s popularity.The rank is calculated using a combination of average daily visitors and pageviews over the past 3 months.The site with the highest combination of visitors and pageviews is ranked #1

I was only playing about keyword stuffing I don’t ever do things like that but I will tell you the 3 elements from that 1st Annual Coolest Blogger Contest post that dropped this blog 40 k in one day.

1 It wasn’t about me

2 It wasn’t all serious I think people need a brake sometimes from Einsteins

3 I have good friends

I just wrote a quick lame post my friends did the rest. I only submit my post to one site.

So it seems pretty simple, write a post not about me and invite people to add who and what they think and then let it GO if it was meant to be it will happen and I only wonder why we don’t always do what we can see works :)

pimping

What are you Pimping ?

Now what’s weird about Alexa is I wrote 3 posts today and all of them won’t have the effect that one did

something to think about :)

Fuck Alexa I did :)

old school joke sorry

The post I referenced is called 1st Annual Coolest Blogger Contest
Basically as a recap and not to offend any blogger but if you want more fish use a bigger net.Meaning expand the reach of your blog’s post title.

Also it’s excellent to know some bloggers that aren’t sacred to hit the RT button.

I was listening to some lame show about how Google will now rank post in search on not only  the amount of friends you have and BUZZ but the quality of your friends it’s at that point I went for a walk and a NICE SMOKE LOL :)
So if your going to be a friend of mine please keep your utmost quality<< what fucking bullshit LOL :)

OK John, what plugin are you using that tells people how many times the post has been viewed?

As to that post that went really well, it just goes to show how friends can help each other out.

As to Alexa, I ain’t all that fussed about it but I ain’t complaining when it goes down :D

Cool, I just won’t use the sidebar part of it as I already have one. I just need the post part of it. Thanks John.

Another trick is to post an interesting topic at Digital Point. Your alexa score will rise in places like India, for example…..LOL
