And my Alexa rank was one area that was an especially glaring problem. When I first found out that Alexa even existed, my rank was in the 300,000’s. Now my rank is near 170,000. It is still nothing to brag about, but it definitely is a marked improvement. I have scoured the web looking for tips on how to further increase my rank and I thought I might share some of these tips with you. I will also show you my results in a later post.

I see your source code and it does not seem to have it here. I personally would promote leaving a comment on this site for a PR6 link back that you are providing in the comment link. In return I would ask my commentators to be kind enough to leave a link back from their blog/site etc, Digg or StumbleUpon (this is the one I chose). We all know your PR6 can get a new site indexed within days on all the SE's. You have some serious power here on your blog and simply asking US to link back can only do your traffic stats good. Maybe you could elaborate on this post asking for this with a few rules of course to keep out of bad neighborhoods. Perhaps you could try the “no follow” approach.

Something else that I believe has helped in getting subscribers is adding feed "chicklets" to my sidebar for even easier subscribing. Have you ever thought about who your audience is, who you write for, and what benefit you hope to provide to readers? I just subscribed to your blog about a month ago, so you may have already answered these questions before. Yet from what I've seen so far, I really enjoy your tutorials and WordPress themes advice. I would highly recommend continually expanding on these things since there are a lot of individuals like myself that are always on the look out for WordPress and web design goodies. :) Actually J David, I took several examples from you by adding your “If you like, then subscribe to my feed” link to the bottom of each individual post & installing the top commentator plugin.
