I’m Somebody!

Technology — By Rolando on February 10, 2009 at 3:43 pm

Since I re-started this domain on 12/5/08 I was a nobody. I had no ranking of any kind whatsoever!  None, nill, nada!  Today I have an Alexa Traffic Ranking of 3,333,313 lol

Alexa Traffic

Alexa Traffic

It seemed to happen over night because last week I installed the ‘Alexa Toolbar for FireFox‘ on all my FireFox browsers at home and at work.  Yesterday I installed an ‘Alexa Widgets‘, which you see at the very bottom of my index page and today, bam!  I  have a ranking.

It’s interesting to see how other pages rank.  Test it out.  Yahoo! is #1, then Google #2.

I highly recommend these tools for newbies like myself.  It’s great to be somebody!  Where do you rank?

  1. I will try this! Hey – we’re practically neighbors! (I’m in Chico, CA.)

  2. Good For You. I never pay any attention to those kinds of stats on my own blog!

    No way, that’s just hop, skip, and a jump away. For some reason I thought you were on the East Coast! Holler if you’re in the area.

    Not me, I was obsessed why I didn’t have a ranking and how to get one, lol. Now I can sleep tonight. :)

  5. This is what I get: Speedcathollydale.blogspot.com has a traffic rank of: 404,809

    Never paid much attention to Alexa, as I only get 100 – 200 hits a day on my main blog … I have 12 of them total. For two weeks last summer my golf blog out-did all of the rest combined. I did a story on Natalie Gulbis with heavy keywords and image titles / alt text. Most bloggers completly miss the boat when using images, as they can account for half of a sites traffic if used in the correct manner. I have an image of Wonder Woman on my blog that has collected 10,000 hits all on it’s own. Strange but true!!

    @Speedcat Hollydale
    You are surely the master Speedy! Even 404k is a great traffic rank. I could only be as talented. You’ll have to write an article on how to use images with titles / alt text so you can give the rest of us noobs a chance lol. Woo hoo Wonder Woman. Linda Carter is hot! No wonder she got you 10k hits lol.

    Rolando celebrating stats? You silly Billy–everyone knows you don’t care about that stuff. The only stat that matters is integrity and treating others with respect and kindness–and for that you are #1

    @Bobby Revell
    Haha, you’re too kind my friend lol. I really didn’t care about what number I got, I just wanted a number even if it was 9 gazillion. No rank was just too sad :(

  9. I just had to come back after Bobby’s comment … you have to love Revellian’s way of thinking. He may be the only blogger I know that never minces words. HA HAAA!!!!!!!

    To be fair, I DO remember Bobby blogging about SEO all the time in 2007 ;-)
    Remember the great post title linking scheme he ran?? LOL LOL LOL

    Hahahahaha!!! I remember that Speedy! Looking back, I can’t believe people (including me) even considered joining in.

    I wrote a funny Twitter poem to share:

    Jagged hair and tear drops…Filament dangling plucked by tweezers, sprig snatched quick from nostril crops and screaming sneezers :mrgreen:

  15. Rolando says:

    @Speedcat Hollydale

  16. Ohh good! … obviously it was not one I could repeat from memory. Who’s is better, mine or Bobby’s ???

    @Speedcat Hollydale
    Haha both of you were unique and perfect in your own way lol. Both loved the same from me. I was at work today, but happen to be in-between meetings. I worry about the economy as well as we’ve already had two lay offs in the last 6 months. Valentine’s Podcast? lol
