Here's a miserable alexa rank, please help!

hmmm I know...I know... check your one in alexa to board my boat and cry together

Will you give me a place on that boat? 

certainly.... for enlightening us

i don't even know how to check my Alexa ranking

pankti goto alexa dot com and then select site info and then type your blog url...and check for the rank... May be you need to create a free account there which is equally easy

@AS, thanks. I did it. I got the following rank. Is it good, bad or what? This numbers really don't make sense to me

Alexa Traffic Rank: 1,375,757 Traffic Rank in IN: 75,546

check my blog there or anyone else's whom you know and then compare with it and it will make perfect sense to you :-)

you have great rank :-)

You can enter sites to compare in the text boxes below the graph.

Here is an example

But I think, to get the exact ranks, you should enter the URL directly.

someday this kido will open a 'how to excel in presentation' site .... and it'll bring him fame

@AS, u r absolutely right

@Pankti @AS Will you buy ads on that future site? 

@Ranjith, AS may have his travel business and blog to advertise but I don't have a damn thing to advertise about

Do you need something to advertise? Wouldn't a photo of yours with the capion 'I am Pankti!' without any link be sufficient? The important thing here is the tranfer of money from your hands to my hands. 

@Ranjith, haha...no Ranjith, that wouldn't be enough for me

point to be noted here: someone is still in dilemma that I'm somehow connected to a travel company 

yes rajnith I'll surely buy ad spaces if I commercialize my web existence 

@AS, aren't u a tour manager?

You once said on IndiTalk that you are the travel manager of iMakeMyTrip. 

 Just remove the 'i' and ... MAGIC 

@Pankti..

@Sfurti..

Aww...Hunky....it's mean of u to do these things without showing us how to!

@ Pankti Go to Yahoo Mail -> Compose mail -> Insert Emoticons -> Copy smileys from there and paste here 

As simple as that! 

@Ranjith..

Explore here

indiblogger.in/forum/img/emoticons/

@Ranjith, I don't have Yahoo mail :(

@Hunky: the address u gave me is denied by my IT dept. :(

That was the place I had explored. And this is the code to reduce my work : 

public class Smileys{

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		for(int i=1;i<=79;i++){

			System.out.println("<img src=\"https://www.indiblogger.in/forum/img/emoticons/"+i+".gif\"> \n");

		}

	}

}

@ Pankti I hope that you haven't typed the address as it is. These are the URL's

• https://www.indiblogger.in/forum/img/emoticons/1.gif
• https://www.indiblogger.in/forum/img/emoticons/2.gif
• https://www.indiblogger.in/forum/img/emoticons/3.gif
• https://www.indiblogger.in/forum/img/emoticons/4.gif

....

Use numbers 1 to 79 and 100 to 117. 

@Ranjith, i didn't even understand what it was ..so i didn't do anything

Are you talking about the code - public class Smileys{.... - That was a small program which I wrote so that the HTML for displaying the 100+ smileys will be generated. 

Stop thinking about that code. 

Just follow the other reply : @ Pankti I hope that you haven't typed the address as 

I m still lost

OK. Step by step guide for you.

Keep a notepad and a pen ready.

Is that an aeroplane or something else? 

@ Pankti, now don't ask how to insert those new smileys / icons! 

even leaving kids on their own, a single day is so dangerous! see, how you guys have made my 'of serious concern' thread to a smiley directory

@AS,

Never mind AS. Start a new thread and discuss until we turn that into Smiley Directory II.

Actually, there is nothing else left to discuss about Alexa. 

but when you document your travel experiences you want it to come to other prospective travellers' use... so what's bad if anyone drops in from googling... even so many strangers have contacted me for travel advices about the places i've documented now and then... so it's important for my posts to appear in google search despite being non-profit blogging

please be my SEO guru and salvage me from this darkness of ignorance

ok... 

Training charges Rs 100 per word applicable 

@Ranjith, don't u think these charges are too steep? How about one eclair per class? If you are happy with that, I too would love to attend your classes.

:-/

@ Pankti OK 

@AS 

hmmm there's the root question, how to increase number of visitors? Well i am not asking that to irritate you guys...my query is more irritating though, how to make my posts appear better in search results? :-)

Its time for you to spend sleepless nights and endless days in reading blogging blogs on topics of SEO 

1) Do some keyword research via Google Adwords tool before publishing a new post
2) Add meta tags, and add sitemaps in all the leading search engines like Google, bing etc
3) Ping ur posts regularly for a couple of weeks or so
4) Try to contact other fellow bloggers of ur niche who r enjoying good PR and Alexa rank, and try to acquire quality backlinks from the via Guest blogging or blog mentioning etc..
5) Try to add ur blog and rss feed to a few (not too many) leading directories...
6) Be active in the blog forums (it wl b gud if d forum would deal in ur niche)
There are more, but complete these first...

@Aditya, you are making me cry...

@ Doc....Or you can just relax, have tea and write 

@ Pankti Those are not meant for you. People don't search for stories and poems on google.  Do they? 

They were meant for AS who wanted his posts to appear in Google.

@Ranjith, so I don't need to do it? Thanks for reviving me out of the coma Aditya put me in

so I don't need to do it?

Your wish! 

.

I'm not know whether people search for stories and poems.

.

I receive few hits from google but people click the close button immediately because - I write a story about X. Google indexes it. People search for an infomative article about X. They visist my blog. And they click the close button because what they are looking for is not a story or a creative article! 

So, what is the use of getting visitors who don't read anything? 

@Ranjith: I am confused now Whether I need to do it or not? 

@Pantki..

Better you write a story or poem about this confusion.. that will do more good to your blog rather than working to increase alexa rank 

@ Pankti Even I don't know the answer . That was why I haven't given an answer like - Yes or No. 

Well said @Hunky 

I feel that [ my opinion ] people who maintain personal blogs should just ensure that their site design looks good and concentrate on content only - that way they will get more satisfaction with their blog posts. If you want to read other blogs, read. If you want to appreciate their content with a comment, do so. But if you do all these things with the intention of increasing traffic or getting links - the fun in blogging is lost! 

@Hunky and Ranjith: I think I will just write...at least I can understand what I am doing in that

Good decision! 

Aditya, how to make and submit a sitemap??

AS, 

For Blogger blogs, you can use the feed as a sitemap. The URL of the feed which displays all ( max 500 ) posts is :

http://www.myblogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500 - This is your sitemap - Replace myblogname with the url of your blog. Don't change anything else in the URL.

• Go to Google Webmaster Tools.
• Click on your site name.
• In the left menu, Optimization > Sitemaps 
• Click the Add / Test Sitemap button.
• Enter the URL and click 'Submit SiteMap' button.

If you have more than 500 posts on your blog, the sitemap url's will be :

• http://www.myblogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
• http://www.myblogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=500
• http://www.myblogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1001&max-results=500
• http://www.myblogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1501&max-results=500
• and so on...

Geee, in blogger it's that complicated  ?

Here at wordpress, just a simple, sitemap.xml 

But still, shouldn't you submit it to GWT? 

Everything is quite simple. It is me who makes them appear complicated! 

there at wordpress, just point sitemap.xml to GWT, done 

thanks rajnith.... I'll try and disturb you again if i face any hurdle

Feel free to disturb. 

nice idea, why not 

I book the 3rd slot please 

Rio I am not going to sell you my site 

Can you reserve the fourth position for me? 

Some body already took the prolexa.com 

Guys you all need my permission 

Well if prolexa is taken, we can have su-plexa or something, though with the kind permission of sfurti, hope her highness will grant the permission,

Hunky takes the third rank as desired, and ranjith gets 4th reserved for him.

@ Rio...I can grant the permission but ofcourse I will take the 1st Rank....and you guys can adjust your ranks accordingly....

PS: su-plexa really?????...Be more creative plzzzzzzz

Hahaaaa let's shake hands...we partners... and free subscriptions for our 'active in forum' indi-friends

How would this be - indlexa.com ? :: indiblogger - alexa 

Now this is a great find , cheers

Book the best available position for me in the ranking list....

@ Ranjith...very good name,I am impressed .

As discussed earlier I secure the 1st rank....since you came up with a very good name, you can share the second rank with Doc, other near and dear friends next few ranks are available for free for few dayssss...Jump in

alexa will sue you people 

@Hunky No problem! You will take care of the legal problems. 

indlexa is growing we have our own lawyer now!!!!! 

Welcome Hunky..

Very proud feeling

we'll be needing bouncers too in long run.... separate for male and female.... candidates are already in my mind

Who are those candidates? 

don't be impatient..... they will come forward

OK, I will wait for them. 

I am waiting too

still she is yet to reply

I review those who reviews mine, tit for tat,

really appreciate your help Vijay... thanks!

rio did you really speak of tit for tat

Except some friends, including you.  Always at your service dear.

thanks for the alexa review Rio

thanks for the suggestion balaji!

thanks Tarun for taking the trouble of analysing these points... i'll surely seek your help once i start improving my blogs!
