The $7000 Show Must Go On Despite Alexa

Posted by: User ImageStephan Miller In: Affiliate Programs| Blogging| Make Money

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

In some freakish accident about 48 hours ago, the Alexa ranks were shuffled. As a result, my other blog now has a higher ranking with Alexa than this one.

I wondered how this would effect the Top 100 Make Money Online Blogs which Ryan Shamus painstakingly went through one by one and described recently. It’s well worth a look. As far as the list goes, I see a lot of same names, just in different places. I dropped about four places.

Also today would have been the day that Marcus Hochstadt’s Blog broke the Alexa 50,000 barrier. He was going to hold a contest to celebrate the occasion. Well, the contest is still on.

My contribution is The Confessions Of A Lazy Super Affiliate which I will be buying for the contest. I already have my own copy. I will also be writing my take on the book. An addition, so to speak. I consider this ebook the 4 Hour Workweek for Affiliate Marketers. It’s a gradual process of building automation and outsourcing into an affiliate marketing business, so you can work less and less.

But this is not a beginner book. This a blueprint that you will have to fill the blanks in with experience or research at some of the links the book suggests. But the book is not geared toward blogging. I think it can be. That is what the report I am writing will cover.

Here’s the contest details, over $7000 worth of prizes and 66,666 Entrecard credits.

What a generous contest. I have been “dropping” Entrecards on Hochstadt’s site, one of the better sites in this system I must say, so it is good to hear of a familiar name with a great contest. I hope that I win something!

Yeah, it’s a great competition, it’s a shame about the Alexa thing, but it was about time Alexa changed the way they rank sites.
