My Skyrocketing Alexa Rankings

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on March 24th, 2008

I basically started my 3 main sites around the first of January. I was new to WordPress, blogging, SEO and everything else involved with building sites – including Alexa and Technorati rankings.

I noticed a couple weeks ago that my Alexa rankings were skyrocketing. This happened in less than 2 months.

Take a look:

Catpuppy
 (2/17) 12,946,832
(3/24) 946,131

Ultimate Redskins
 (2/17) 12,969,408
(3/24) 887, 251

Bloggintown
(2/17) 12,956,347
(3/24) 619,887

Is this normal? I’d love to hear your experiences with your Alexa rankings.

Shifting ads units around

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on February 25th, 2008

If you haven’t noticed, I changed some of the ad placements on this site – more so on UltimateRedskins.

I tried to change them around on CatPuppy but I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do with that site adwise. I’ll address that in a later post.

I found some great info on ad placements and decided to move things around. I havent been making a lot of money from my sites (I’m cool with that, it’s just frustrating hearing about the amount of money I could be making if you have the proper placements) so doing this was a no brainer. Google has a nice page about where the best placements are. Problogger has one also.

Denied: BlogRush

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on February 19th, 2008

So, before I started this site I applied to BlogRush for UltimateRedskins. I got the referral from my friend at PhoFuki. He had started his site around the same time I did and I figured since he was accepted, I would be as well.

Well…as my luck has been going with these types of thing, I was denied.

Ok, fair enough. I didn’t even think about it again till I got my ranking on Alexa. I reapplied but this time for Bloggintown. I had to be a shoe-in, right?

Apparently not. Here’s what they wrote: (more…)

My quest to get Page Ranked

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on February 19th, 2008

I’m relatively new to blogging and especially blogging for money, so up until a couple weeks ago I had never heard of page rank – much less Alexa. Well, I think I hooked up with a girl named Alexa back in High School but let’s leave that for another blog.

Anyway, after Text Link Ads (click here for the post) denied me because I didn’t have a high enough ranking, I realized: I gotta get recognized.

So, I started my research. (more…)

Adding: Widgetbucks

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on February 13th, 2008

I got accepted to WidgetBucks the other day.

Earn $$ with WidgetBucks!

Originally, I submitted for UltimateRedskins and then just this morning put the code on this site (as you can see on the sidebar). It’s a lot easier to set-up than Adsense and doesnt conflict contextually either.

I like the look of these ads and they claim to have as high a rate as Adsense. I’ll see about that and report it back here when I get some hits on it.

I also replaced Amazon Ads. I might put them back up but not as big… maybe a single item?

Text Link Ads Strangeness

Posted by The Mayor of Bloggintown on February 4th, 2008

So, on Thursday I got an e-mail telling me that I was accepted into Text Link Ads for Ultimate Redskins. I had thought they rejected me a couple weeks ago…but I was like, “Whatever.”

I logged on and downloaded the WordPress widget they provide for you. After installing it, they sent me an e-mail that said they had just spotted the widget and I would have the ads running in 48 hours.

That was the good part. Now the strange part.

On Sunday I get another e-mail saying that my site was rejected due to”limited link popularity.” What? Weren’t they supposed to know that before they accepted my site?

So now I’m bummed.
