One of the many highlights of 2009 was joining the BlogEngage Community where it was just brilliant to come across, virtually meet – and learn from – a refreshingly positive group of creative and co-operative bloggers.
Brianwave ,The Alexa Ranking Contest, was my first contest that aimed to help promote blogs within the community – and it asked the question
* What will the Alexa Ranking for BlogEngage be on Feb 1 2010 ? *
The following BlogEngage community members made the following predictions …
- Uttoran Sen – 9, 679
- Jared P Little – 9,765
- Sriraj – 9,882
- Karl Foxley – 10, 165
- Robert Bravery – 10,227
- Ben Lang – 11,500
- Jimi Jones – 11, 586
- Brad Harmon – 12,750
- S. Pradeep Kumar – 13,000
- Ms Freeman – 13,217
- ileane – 13,316
- Hesham – 15,000
Well it’s been an amazing month for BlogEngage with an Alexa Ranking improvement of more than 3,000 places since the contest began – as shown below
- 10.12. 2009 – 17,160
- 06.01.2010 – 14,046
There seems no doubt that this upward trend is set to continue and personally I remain convinced that …
The Alexa Ranking for BlogEngage.com will in fact be 12,165 on February 1st 2010 !
Ok, looking forward to seeing what happens ….. and adding the winning three websites to the top of every page of this blog for 3 months.

Hmmm … The ranking is sitting at 12,694 today but it is still trending lower. Is this a closest too contest, or closest without going over?

I'm just curious to know, what could be done for a non english blog to achieve good Alexa Ranking.

Hi Dak Wan – I'm really not sure either but hope someone else here can haelp you. Cheers, Will
I have a nagging question thats bothering me for ages. Do more local or only universal blogger community support are needed, for a niche language blog(meaning non-english blog) to achieve high Alexa rank? (as in my blog sue-sygckit.blogspot.com)
I guess there's a little mistake, i guessed – 9679
please correct it
My recent post Technorati claim – will delete this post later lol
OOOps, my mistake , sorry Uttoran!
(will correct now!)
No worries about the contest or the word challenge, I will only be pissed if I am dead on by the other number in the end. I guess I will have to really promo the Alex Rank for BlogEngage. See if I can get a bunch of people to write a review I have been meaning to do one. I have heard that helps.
Yes, the word challenge had a very nice turn out seem to draw some nice attention.

Hi Jared,
People normally look at the 3-month average on Alexa ( it's the one that is shown in their top line & in the Firefox add-on for example) – and that is the one I've been citing and folowing for this contest. Sorry if I didn't make that clear – and if you'd like to change your prediction ( because of this) then please do.
All the best & sorry I had no time for the word challenge this week – will do my best to enter next time , promise!
Cheers
Will
Will,
I have to ask a question I don't want to get technical but for the alex rank are you looking at the default view in alex which is a 3 month avagage or the actually rank for the day.
Yesterday 10,849 if you look at the Traffic Rank tab in Alexa. Seems the this is much lower then the 3 month average and what I based my entry on.

Hi Dasche,

Thank you Will
LOL! I was thinking of this last week

No I hadn't heard that particular proverb
BlogEngage is rising like cream!
Maybe you've heard the proverb …
"Cream doesn't rise to the top, it works its way up”
I think this is very true of BlogEngage and the fantastic support from community members.
Great proverb Will. Looking forward to seeing the results of the BE Alexa contest.

Karl

@Ileane, If you were to change your guess – what would that be ? ( just out of curiosity!) #BlogEngage
Will, is it too late to change my vote? Just kidding. It certainly is amazing to see such growth in this short amount of time. I really think that everyone that voted has also made significant contributions to growing the community. Thanks for the contest.
