Mine jumped from 67 to 79 cool 
Another one is now 81... Happy!
To improve your rank one simple suggestion, keep blogging & let others read your blog post by promoting it. Do some Search engine Optimization.
Hi Avi was your first time rank 67 ?? Send me some article or link to read more about SEO. Not sure if i know it and its significance !!
Hi Vivek,
My first rank in IB is 62 which is announced today. I am very happy that my first rank is above 60.
Thanks and Regards
Prasanta Borah
Congrats for your first rank on IB 
Congrats way to go :) Personally i must say that we should not give much importance to rank but we cant avoid giving importance to it, we love to treated well.I am not best in seo, i can share few things1) Post your comments with your blog link
2) Share it on social networks3) Spend time on improving blog styles and blog's content4) Good writing will draw attention of people without any false covers..I was in rank 67 now im moved to rank 84.. i was continuously blogging :)Good luck !
That's well said. Ranks don't matter much. Content and a good readership is what ultimately matters. And most of the time, they both go hand in hand.
First Indirank, I think it was 62... But will have to check.
What I did to improve it, blog more, a little more and a little bit more...
It was 64, I just checked!!
Well said DS. The three B's to gain a better IndiRank are blog, blog and blog.
I wonder how you could have forgotten your first IndiRank! (just like me )
Thanks Ranjith! And I do forget things often!
My first rank was 74.
It dipped down to 37 last time.
Now its 76.
@ Avi Cool Man you are rising high n high......out of your 4 blogs two are nearing 80's. Kudos !! :)
@ Prasanta Buddy i am even happy withmy first ever rank of 67 let's work harder and beat all these guys in this number game :)
@ Deepak I saw your useful tips and will start following them for sure. It will take me time that's for sure but will keep cheecking with you in between. Thanks !!
@ DS 62 was good anything thats in 60's is a encouraging sign. Do let us know what all you did to improve your blog.
@ Xeno First time 74 means a lot. I will read your blog for sure and see what different you do :)
Guys !! How about sharing one single tip for all beginners and let's use it to see its effectiveness to increase the footfall on our blogs.
Just 1 tip that we can do right away !!
I gave the tip! More and More blogging. Blog about what you love. Enjoy it.
mine is struggling at 56, if it can give you some idea how important your solo first time rank is.
Don't worry Pramod. It will increase for sure. Ups and downs are common in blogging, just as they are in our lives.
Keep Smiling.
@ Ketaki don't you worry we will again come back to this thread next month and compare with STE -TSW :) . The chances of 67's rising to 80's is far more higher than 77 ones :P
Mines jumped from 45 to 67.....hurry...
Congs vivek for the gr88 debut in the blogging industry...
Link building is the key, anyone interested in link building?
Are you sure? Link exchanges can damage the performance in search engines.....
Hi Avi i am interested. Can you illustrate more !!
1) What was your first rank ever at IB?
-> 61 (and that was also my all time lowest!)
2) What you did to improve it ??
-> Just kept blogging
Congrats Vivek, Welcome to IndiBlogger! :)
@ Arti I was foxed by all these technical words like SEO and Linking etc but you have come to my rescue with the simple mantra " Just Keep Bloggin " :):) Thanks !! Find time to see whatver little i write.
Yes, even I don't understand these terms :) Though, i don't deny its helpfulness in increasing traffic et al, but Its always best to stick to what you know and not ape others in the race, isn't it :)
Loved Vivaldi's Musings, keep'em coming!! And Congrats on your big fat grabs of the IndiMeet!
i joined indiblogger last month and my first rank was 53; now its 73 . i am happy. although i have tried my level best to understand that seo thing but it all sounds greek and latin to me. i also submitted my blog to 1000 blog directories but deleted later. only directory which worked for me as of now is indiblogger and i m ok with their exemplary procrastination skills 
.
That was a huge improvement! And 1000 directory submissions is unbelievable. Did you use some auto submission tool?
i was spending more time searching for new directories than writing anything. someone visited my blog yesterday and he thought my profile pic is actually a directory widget 
. cannot blame him, till yesterday my sidebar was a collage of directory widgets.
@ Debjyoti You know what !! When i attended this bloggers meet in delhi i meet many folks who wrote good but were best when it came to promoting their blogs. Just writing this thread to pick up some best practices .
Nevertheless i am even quite happy being at IB and will make small efforts now and then to improve my blog and invite more readers !! :):)
i will follow ur thread. anything for promotion .
Got my first IndiRank of 79 yesterday.. :)
My first rank was 54... and now it is 72... took me around 6 moths to reach this rank.
Hard work always pays
My first IndiRank was 74. IndiRank is just like other ranking tools. Improve the performance of your blog will automatically reflect in your IndiRank. You need to attract readership to your blog to improve your Alexa Rank. Post frequently (once a week is sufficicient) especially when the IndiCrawler prepares to crawl our sites. ANd, concentrate a bit on SEO and link building. Blogging frequently and having an average readership will easily get you into the 70's and 80's, as of now.
So I have a greater chance of rising to 100 from 82 (or 84?? Sorry, I have forgotten it :-)) than to rise to 85or 86.
