Webmasters / Re: Dear Bloggers, How Do I Improve My Alexa Ranking? by bizfirst: 3:34pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
theplushist: You'll discover, my dear ThePlushist, that Alexa and its ranking mean very little - in real sense. By very little, I mean, monetization wise. Let me tell you my story... Back then when I started www.notopoverty.com, I erroneously believed that Alexa was gold and getting my site right below 100k would mean success. Instant success. I worked my ass off and eventually (like a dream come true), I hit the first Alexa 100k and further drove the rank down to 85k. I was overjoyed. At last, my site was 'popular'. But, what did this mean monetary wise? Nothing! Throughout that duration, I only got 1 sponsored post for a mere $30. Mere $30! I had to think again...there was something I was getting wrong. After cracking my skull for months and allowing the Alexa rank to drop to any level it cared, I discovered the true secrets of a successful blog: 1. Building a blog round a niche concept. 2. Driving targeted traffic of persons who are already hungry for the info you are providing. 3. Proving your expertise. 4. Selling (courses, ebooks, tangibles) and referring awesome products (affiliate marketing). 5. Making the bucks (and repeating the process, if you care) This is what truly matter! Since I figured out this recipe, I have not really cared about my Alexa rank again. Why bother when you can make the bucks with a rank in the millions? Unless of course you are concerned about the vanity of a high and impressive rank. My advice? 1. Damn Alexa and focus on driving targeted traffic, only. 2. Convert this traffic to a community, get to know their needs and create or introduce to them products that will tackle their challenges. 3. Watch yourself enjoy the dot com lifestyle and wonder while it took you so long to hear the ultimate truth relating to online success with a blog 1 Like |
