Joining the Yakezie Alexa Ranking Challenge
- 4 Comment
The personal finance blogosphere is starting up a storm as of late. Sam from Financial Samurai led the charge 7 months ago with the Yakezie challenge to improve Alexa website ranking. Now he’s taking a huge leap forward.
The Benefits
Many benefits come from a higher Alexa website rank. Yes, any website owner should be working towards increasing their sites popularity. That is an understandable goal because the more traffic a site gets, it also:
- appeals to more advertisers
- increases ad revenue
- leads to more perks
- spreads community recognition
- means straight up bragging rights
The Challenge
The goal was for all participants to reach the top 200,000 on Alexa within a 6-month period. Those already in the top 200,000 will shoot for the top 100,000. And those already the top 100,000 will go for the top 50,000.
The challenge offers a collaborative effort by all participants to promote each other so that we can all reach our goals together. While obtaining a high Alexa rank is the primary goal, the Yakezie challenge also cultivates new relationships between bloggers in order to build a strong network of insightful online friends.
The advent of the brand new Yakezie website has drawn my interest in participating in this challenge. Sure, the money is a great bonus. But, I’ve been writing here on Realm of Prosperity for over 3 years with little expectation of much monetary gain – so I look forward to growth in readership and recognition over an extra buck.
Per the popular advice, do what you love doing and the money will follow.
A Long Journey Ahead
Currently, Realm of Prosperity has an Alexa rank of 1,115,170. The goal is to break 200,000 by February 18, 2011.
I will report on the progress when 6 months has passed. Until then, I’ll be contributing to the wrath of the Yakezie network.
