Top 1,000,000 Alexa!

Within the past week or so this blog has broken into the top million websites listed on Alexa.com. This really isn't that big of a deal, but things have been moving up right along. To be honest I am still unsure if this is because of all the increased traffic I have have picked up, or if it is just because I now check the blog about twice a day with the toolbar I installed. Whatever the cause its a definite plus!

Reminder: Anyone with questions about DynamicMUD should read this post. I will aim to start answering questions over this next week.

Alexa Update

I mentioned alexa in an earlier post, and how the alexa rank was slowly improving. It still is. As of this morning The alexa rank for this page is 1,482,132, up from 6,352,160 when it was first ranked. I'm not absolutely sure, but I have a feeling that at this rate I could at least begin to approach the top 100,000 if this trend continues. I'm pretty sure it is all a result of using the SearchStatus toolbar for firefox. In other related news FeedBurner subscriptions, and Technorati rank are up, and Blogtopsites rank is down.

I'm going to make an attempt to try and write posts every day again. Hopefully next week won't be as crazy as the last few were. A lot of the times I would have posted this week it was a contest of sleep versus posting, and for the student sometimes sleep is just more important.

Later,

Alexa Rank

About a week ago I was doing some further research into the Alexa traffic rankings. I ended up downloading a cool firefox toolbar that will show you google and alexa ranks for the site your viewing. When I initially installed it my site read as ranked 15th, this being a result of it being on the blogspot domain. I did more research, and found that most blogspot.com blogs are ranked based on the blogspot domain. Now a week later after using the toolbar, I have an alexa rank (in the millions). From what I understand this toolbar works similarly to the alexa toolbar, and boosts alexa ranks of pages viewed with it active as much as the alexa toolbar. This is advantageous because this toolbar doesn't have the same 'spyware' issues that people have been associating with the normal alexa toolbar. The toolbar can be found: Here. I recommend installing firefox (there is a link in the sidebar), and installing this toolbar if you do any webdevelopment or website promotion.
