		<description>Since I have taken over the SEO duties on our site, the traffic has gone up. Most of the traffic is now coming from the search engines.

I know Alexa isn&#039;t everything but I love watching the numbers go down. Yours is now under 75,000. I&#039;ll be excited when ours is less than 200,000. Keep up the great work!

		<description>Hi Ryan,
I&#039;m glad you like the design, but I can&#039;t take the credit for it. It was custom designed by Brandon Cox, the former owner of this blog - you can find him at: http://www.egracecreative.com/ and at http://fuelyourblogging.com. 

Thanks again!</description>

		<description>Although Alexa rating isn&#039;t everything, it is satisfying to see that number drop.  I&#039;ve read up on improving Alexa rating a bit, and one common suggestion I got was to place the Alexa Widget somewhere on your blog.  Out of curiosity I did that on two blogs that I run, and sure enough, it seemed to help a lot with the rating.

Good post, and on an unrelated note, I love the design of your blog.  Something a bit different than that of a typical WordPress blog.

		<description>Kiesha, thanks for such great tips! It&#039;s good to know that I&#039;m on the right track. I&#039;ve actually set goals to the number of blog comments I would leave per day and the number of guest post I would submit per week. 

This gives me some direction and something to shoot for which in turn will allow me to gain a higher Alexa ranking.

Thanks for sharing!

		<description>I wrote a similar post about improving my Alexa rank and I&#039;m glad that people still find this number useful!  

It&#039;s not the tell all of traffic, but many advertisers look at that number to determine how much they should pay for advertising.

As for income streams, I&#039;m getting a few trickles on my blog but then again it&#039;s only about 3 months old.  Still working hard on building content, and networking with other bloggers.

		<description>I&#039;ve made a little blogging. Definitely not enough to quit my day job. 

I&#039;ve been working on developing relationships with people that comment or are in my niche to help create trust. It takes time but it&#039;s working.

I have some ideas of guest posts but haven&#039;t reached out yet. That will be happening soon.

		<description>I would have to agree with Ryan, passion is what drives you and the money is a great side benefit.  I have not begun to make a lot of money from my site as of yet but I am planning for growth and enjoying the journey.

My alexa ranking is getting lower and while that is quite exciting, I must admit I am more encouraged by the emails and feedback I receive that my site is helping people cope with a difficult time in their lives.

		<description>Hi Robyn!
I will definitely take a look - however, patience is probably the best quality for a blogger, it make take you more or less time depending on your niche and what you can offer.</description>
