    Hey Everyone,

    I've been running my blog Make Money Online with Daily Moolah dot Com for only a month, and have climbed up in alexa rankings from +2Million to 436,438 in less than a month!

    This has been achieved only through natural search and social media traffic such as stumble upon. Read all about it at http://www.dailymoolah.com/2007/08/15/how-i-broke-the-top-500k-alexa-ranking/

    Hate to rain on your parade but it doesnt take much to get to a 436k alexa ranking considering most of your readers probably already have the toolbar installed. By you visiting your own site increases the rankings as well. When you break 5 digits then start a thread.

    Bad link bait.

    kevinn is right.
    Alexa rank is only accurate if you are in the 50k most visited sites and if your website don't target webmasters or early-adopters.

    Tell me how to get below 100k. Now there's a topic I want to read about. Once I get three months worth of data I should be close.

    I took one of my myspace site last year from 100 hits a day to over 14,000 hits per month using free methods and some newer web 2.0 stuff as well.....that for me was very good and what do you think happend to my sales....yup bang! was awesome. The product I sold was for 27 dollars at the time and I was able to quit my job.....can view sig below if you want.

    now that has given me a great product, coming soon, I really love helping people who are struggling, because for a time I was one of them. I go about creating stuff that I wish I had around me when I was struggling all those years ago.

    The secrets to all of this is really Copy, your offer and traffic traffic traffic, they are the three most crutial things to making a killing online, espeically if your into niche marketing.

    alexa is so easy to get. one of my sites is about 130k and I havn't done anyhting to it alexa related. all of my sites are under 600k and I have never touched them alexa wise. It doesn't mean anything.

    My best performing site (about 1000uniques a day), is rated worse than one of my sites that receives about 200uniques a day. Alexa is accurate huh?

    Install Alexa tool bar. But your site as your home page. Soon, you will crack top 600k in Alexa.

    Is that a threat? Are you ready to guarantee that you are going to be under 100k in three months?

    You've got a lot of content writing to do my friend.
    Better step up!

    BTW, in three months I'm going to start a thread. I'll even save this thread in case something happens and it's gone. And you can tell everyone how you made it under 100k in 6 months. :cool:

    I don't quite get why everyone is being such a hard ass to him. If it makes him happy, cool. If he wants people to check out his post, cool.

    I'm with you on that. If a person is happy about something they are doing, and it seems to be generating at least SOME results for them - more power to them. :)

    Yeah, I mean...I'm sure when the 'top dogs' were n00bs, they were doing the exact same stuff. Lay off the insults and let people do what they want. If it doesn't HURT anyone, bugger off.

    heck, I have a site that gets less than 2 visitors a day and it's at 600,000. I wouldn't be too excited about that as well.

    Once you get to 200,000 you'll see that you'll really have to push to boost.

    Everyone has to start somewhere folks, and little successes are what brings us the motivation to keep going on. I'm not really sure what you pundit's hope to achieve, bookmark this thread if you want to - in the greater scheme of things your site won't matter one bit in 3 months, not enough to change anything significant in the tech world.
