		<description>Thanks for sticking with it SOB
About  2  weeks ago I was going to end the great experiment
http://welcomebackrosenthal.com/tips-for-the-day-adsense-is-wacked-out-this-week-the-alexa-widget-is-coming-off-tonight/
But then I kept dropping and made it under 200,000 so put the widget back up.

And as I mentioned in the comments above, the lower you go, the more it&#039;s like everybody trying to get out of the same exit door at the same time. :)</description>

		<description>Ok, I started out at 245.797 and today I&#039;m 212,956.  I have no idea why it went lower but it *might* be the widget.  Jury is still out.  :)</description>

		<description>Hi Gireesh
Yeah, many sites experienced a drop. And some have even reported that their numbers came back and in some cases even a little better, so that change that Alexa did in mid-April affected most people.

But not me, I started this experiment before the change. Sadly I have stopped moving for my longest period. About 2 weeks now and no change; of course I&#039;m also not &quot;hustling&quot; for traffic like I normally do since I&#039;ve been building 4 other blogs.</description>

		<description>Even my website&#039;s ranking dropped, though by couple of thousands only.

Strangely, we are seeing a consistent increase in the number of unique visitors through Statcounter.com, the changes in Alexa ranking are slightly dis-aligned.

Wondering, how to make our visitors install Alexa Tool bar!!!

		<description>If you depend on link or site selling as a form of monetization you will definitely want to increase your http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.fortunehotels.in Alexa rank, because it will increase your bargaining power when it comes to ad pricing</description>
