I started the Yakezie Challenge 4/30/2014 with these stats:
Global: 596,199
US: 110,637
My June Goals:
Global: Break 150,000
US: Break 22,000
Well, I BLEW THOSE GOALS out of the water! Here are my current stats as of 6/30/14
Global: 98,631
US: 13,893
Those are huge gains for one month, I think! But, I know it will get harder the higher (lower) I go! Here are my goals for July
Global: Break 50,000
US: Break 10,000

Good job, Gretchen! I managed to get around the 50,000 mark, and then I slacked off my site for awhile, so I’ve been slowly creeping back up. I think I am in the 130k range. Meh, I’m okay with that, because I stopped thinking of my site as a potential business.
Good luck reaching 50,000 :)
Thank you Alicia!
Great job, Gretchen!!! Keep up the awesome work. :-)
Thanks Laurie!
Congrats! That is quite an accomplishment. I had joined the challenge and broke 200,000 but not 100,000. Way to go!
Thanks – you’ll be there soon too!
Congrats on getting under 100,000. Glad to hear you joined the Yakezie challenge!
I think the Yakezie challenge is soo cool. It obviously helps tons of bloggers out there. Hey, your Alexa looks like mine…I guess that means we’re racing!
Oh yeah – I love competition, so the Yakezie Challenge was perfect for me. Plus, it promotes helping other bloggers so that awesome!
I definitely like the community Yakezie’s put together. Maybe I’ll join again. We’ll see!
It has definitely help motivate me!
Way to go! It’s always a great feeling breaking through those numbers and kicking butt! Keep it up :)
Congrats on breaking 100k! I really need to get back into Yakezie – the forums are so valuable.
Yep, the forums provide so much support and great advice!
Nice work Gretchen! It is good to see your site doing so well. Keep up the great work and you will surely break 50k.
Thank you! 50K will be a hard one!
Congrats!
Thank you!
Congrats! I joined the Yakezie challenge somewhere around 450,000, trying to get below 200,000. I managed to get it to around 140,000 within 3ish months, but I’ve noticed it’s been creeping back up since then, even though I haven’t really changed the way I do anything. I guess the competition has gotten stiffer ;o)
Yeah, it’s tough. Or, google changed how they determine page rank….that seems to happen a lot.
Congratulations on the progress!
I have been reading a lot of blogs that are partaking in this challenge so I decided to install the toolbar but I have no alexa ranking information! I would at least like to have a starting point to see my progress.
Is there a resource for tips on improving the score or do you just continue to write and blog as you normally would?
Kipp, just sent you an email
Congratulations, that’s awesome! My rank seems to be backtracking the past few weeks for the first time and I don’t think I changed anything. Oh well, I guess it might end up taking me a little longer than 6 months.
That’s really frustrating! Google seems to change things all the time, it’s so hard to keep up! Keep going!
