After my small rant on Monday about how my Alexa rank that I already know is inaccurate shifted a substantial amount between two days, you may be sick of reading about Alexa here. Well don't get sick just yet. I'm documenting this process because you may find it significant to you should you ever decide to offer advertising on your blog or site with a company that uses the stats from Alexa or if you should ever need/decide to increase your Alexa rank. I will begin as I usually do when I talk about Alexa with a link to my article about how Alexa is inaccurate. I do this because I don't want anyone who may be reading PureBlogic for the first time to think that Alexa is accurate and should therefore be something they use.

Yesterday my rank shifted again. This hasn't been updated in the widget yet. There seems to be some delay between what the widget shows and what the actual rank is sometimes. PureBlogic went from 593,064 to 590,028. This is significant for one reason. I joined a great group of people onBlogCatalog .com this week. This group is called the Alexa group. They are a  group of people that have the Alexa toolbar installed who read each others sites. The group isn't really large, however, I happen to know that several of the group members have visited PureBlogic since my last rank update was posted on Monday. This small group of people caused a small shift in the rank.

You may be asking why this important to you. It is important to you because it outlines how easy it is for you to grow your rank by following the 5 simple rules I outlined in a prior article to grow your Alexa rating. Again, this information is useful if you decide to start building your Alexa rank.

Here is a link to the BlogCatalog Alexa group. When you have time, join and say hi. There are also other BlogCatalog groups that you can join to increase your traffic. Stop by and give BlogCatalog a try !
