On March 4th, a month after I originally posted The Secret of My Success:
Alexa Global Traffic Rank: 469,323
15 Sites Linking In
Canada 120,386
United States 122,286
United Kingdom 266,191
The huge boost from the Kristen Archives at the end of January is now starting to balance itself out. Traffic has settled at 1300 each day. I am posting every day, twice a day and trying to use the best keywords alongside those posts.
I have to admit to being totally bemused by how the Alexa rankings work, but it’s the Global figure that counts and mine seems to be going up every time.
I have received the first month’s videos to accompany my Blogging To The Bank 2010 book and will start putting all the tips into practice on my smaller blog so that I can work out the successful strategies and implement them here.
I will be back with an update next month.
With Many Thanks to all the Bloggers who sent their good wishes and have now put me on their blogroll:





























Aussie bloggers here and loving your blog :]
The question’s out there:
Who won the Haiku Contest?
Enquiring minds.
congrats!!!!! on both the traffic and the win. :-)
You’re on my blog roll too. xoxo.
I have no idea what my Alexa rank is or where to find it! Which is a good thing, since I switched domains just 4 days ago!
OK my friend,
I’m busted….
Ido not get the opportunity to read everyday, in my “off time”. with my schedule, I need to spend time with the Family, when I can.
That’s my excuse and I’ll stick with it, but when I do log on to this box, I’l try my hardest to visit.
And YES……. you are the only one in my drop down menu, address bar…everyone else is relegated to the “bookmarks”
Yet another Aussie blogger religiously reading (hmmm, lurking more like) and telling everyone that will stand still about your addictive cake. Congratulations!
Thanks Cheeky Minx, thanks for uncloaking :)
