I have been working tremendously hard for the past few months to shape up this blog. A while back, I wrote a post outlining how I felt that this blog was severely under performing. In fact, being a finance student, I would have recognized this blog as having strong potential but being poorly managed, thereby making it a takeover target. Well, I decided to take matters into my own hands, and with some help from my small, but loyal group of readers, I have reached some great milestones.
Alexa Finally Likes Me!
I know that being in the top 100,000 sites is no huge deal, but it was a goal that I set for myself a while ago. I remember being in the millions and it seems like getting to this point was a great achievement. There were spikes in traffic along the way, thanks mostly to Stumbleupon, but otherwise I have seen a nice upward trend in traffic.
As far as the Alexa rankings are concerned, I truly believe that some of the tactics I tried that were specifically geared towards Alexa really paid off. I would recommend that everyone follow these tips, because they certainly had a hand in my ranking improvement.
And The 1000th Commenter Is…
I want to thank kitap for contributing the 1000th comment on this blog! Community is one of the things I hope to grow here at J David Macor.com and reaching this plateau is a sign that I am starting to be successful at it. I want to encourage everyone to respond to the dumb things that I say! Challenge me or cheer me on; whatever. Just participate!
Where I Go From Here: New Goals
So, this is still in fact just a milestone; it is not the end of the road. This site has far more yet to offer and I hope that you readers will stick around to see it. In fact, I remember how for the longest time, my readership hovered around 12… Those were great times. Speaking of readership, don’t forget to subscribe! Anyhow, lets take a look at the new goals I have set:
- Break the 1000 reader barrier
- Enter the top 75,000 in Alexa
- Make it to the Digg homepage once
- Average 15 comments per post
- Sell my advertising spots
So, thank you for sticking with me through this whole time, and I look forward to an exciting future!
Congrats on your success David! I subscribed to your blog the other week, and I’ll try and help you realize your 15 comment per post goal when I am able to contribute something to a post of yours!
Nice rise in stats here… and great goals for the future. Personally I set my goals a little high, alexa/google/key terms/revenue… and it makes me work that much harder on getting to that point. I’ve watched your blog grow and it’s given me hope, even if i change things around a little to often.
On the upside I’m near breaking the 200k mark in alexa and I’ve finally started my to get in my “posting groove”.
WOW!E20-520 Tremendous record, Best of luck for your future. PW0-200
I know Alex Ranking isn’t a big deal nowadays, but it is still fun seeing your website ranking highly.

Most women want to be fashion, but if you work hard to get close before the store
Tap into your desire to communicate your passion. Some people feel afraid to reach out and offer their services. Why? They either suffer from the fear of success or the fear of failure
you are different. You are the type of therapist who feels motivated to clearly communicate your passion to people who love to read about your solutions to their problems. Thank you for your contribution.
Alexa rankings is not really very important because not all users install alexa toolbar and because of that, all the traffic is never tracked by alexa. It is always a good option to check awstats for understanding the website traffic improvement.
These women prefer to look smart and chic, and include pencil skirts, skirts and halter neck dress shirt custom dress.
