		<description>I have been trying to figure why it fluctuates fro a while even when you are getting more traffic...I agree with you though a low alexa ranking is good..Thanks for all the info...</description>

		<description>if anything, the alexa is something new for people to click (at least the first time).  i'll probably add one just to see how the numbers change.</description>

		<description>Easy,

Because Alexa take the whole domain(blogspot) and not just the subdomain.

Google PR is by page. So, your family blog won't have the PR of blogger in this case.</description>

		<description>Court, 

I have another blog that has an Alexa rank of 14.  But it is not in the top 100,000.  This blog is not high in traffic, just a personal family blog.  

I don't understand why this one has a 14 but mine at LAMyHome has like almost 6 million when more readers are reaing my LAMyHome.

		<description>Hi Court.

When I first started out playing with my Alexa rank, the widget did help halved it from something like 500k to 250k in less than a month.

I've since built it up to its current rank of around 122k but I was around 100k in July.

Here's the story: I was away on vacation for a week in July and so didn't visit my own site with the Alexa toolbar then. However my traffic stayed constant so I'd assume that my Alexa rank would not be affected much.

I was wrong - my weekly rank dropped by around 40k which dragged my average rank down quite badly. Was around 100k vs. 120k currently.

So in conclusion, I think the widget would help when you are starting out to a certain point but after that - Alexa seems to trust the toolbar more.</description>

		<description>Hi,

Following your wise advice, I just installed the Alexa widget.

I can't wait to see if the change is drastic.

Thanks for all the useful info that you so freely give.
