Recently, I have experienced one thing that a blogger don't want to happen in the traffic in their blogs. What I am trying to point out is the number of visits that shows in my Google Analytics which is the driving force for the number of visitors you have had in your blog. The graph below shows how tragedy struck my two blogs without me knowing it until just recently. And in this circumstances it also affects my Alexa ranking that plummets back to more than 1 million in just several weeks.
The spike at the far left of the graph is used to be the number of visits I got in my blog. And the flat line you see is when I made the changes in the template of my blogs.
This is a good example of the traffic or visits not captured by Google Analytics after I made the change of my template. So, to all of you there who are not that techy when it comes to this part, always remember to check the meta tags if it is still there and if not put it back and verify again. Take note how the number of visits dropped.
This is now the number of visits in my blog after I have restored the meta tags and the html codes. It starts to move up again and it may not that significant for now but at least I can see some spike coming off from the flat line.
It’s one of those days that you need to celebrate and be happy for an achievement that you got. And when it’s there you felt something different and I’m sure a lot knows what it is to be there.
So anyway, I was trying to get back from slumber since I am not feeling well in the past few days because of cough and colds. And when I went home from work early this morning I felt something that is not right. I ate breakfast before going to sleep but wasn’t able to sleep immediately because I felt that my whole body is so hot that I began to cover my whole body with the blanket. I took my baby’s thermometer and slid it in my armpit… a few minutes had gone, check the reading and jackpot!! I officially had a fever, it was 100.8 F. That’s the reason why I’m not feeling so up this morning. My wife noticed and gave me an analgesic but I took two of them at the same time then doze off.
I woke up mid afternoon with my wife’s prodding so I can take some food in my noisy stomach. I felt different already and a bit energized from the good rest I had and no longer feel feverish. After doing some errands in the house, I went on and open my laptop to log in my daily routine for my writing gig and along the way it just came to my mind to check if there are changes in my Alexa ranking and it is still 1.8 million. But it is way better than before when it was still more than 10 million and thanks to Adgitize for bringing it down tremendously in just a few months time. The good thing is, in my other blog “Be a Lifesaver Of Goodness”, it stands below 850 thousand already and in the next update it will surely be below 500 thousand.
But that’s not what I am celebrating right now, it was just part of it. I usually check both my Alexa and Page Rank, so I could determine the progress, and noticed that my PR is already zero (0). I double check yet still remain the same. Went for work and check it right there and yes it is still zero. And all bloggers know what this meant for your blog and how important it is especially to those who are accepting freelance writing jobs. I am hoping for more opps to come in my way. Now it’s official that I am no longer N/A in my page rank.
