Grats on the 150 000 mark, it's a pretty big step! But, even if it's great have goals, breaking the 20 000 is very.. very hard. You could be #1 for a few keywords on google and not be in the top 20 000! Good luck with your goals though, happy to see it's going well for you!
my best site is now 114,xxx, cant wait to break into the top 100k whats going on w/ alexa rankings btw? they change very often this week
do you get lots of traffic, or just traffic from alexa users, is it accurate to what you see at your site?
If you are in the 144K then you are probably VERY far from the 20K. Making in it into the top 100K should be your next objective, and it would be a huge success if you could make it within the next year.
What's going with alexa? My image upload site was 1.5 million a month and half ago. But now it is been in the 200,000+ for this week and in the 300,000s last week. My site doesn't even break 2k total visitors(unique+returning) a month. You would think there are more than 200,000+ websites getting more than 2k visits.
in a few months i will create another thread in this forum about my next alexa rank which is definitely under 20,000
