After all, if PF blog rankings are based off Alexa, and advertisers use Alexa to determine the legitamacy of your traffic, doesn't it behoove us publishers to use and understand? I'm pretty sure me visiting my site doesn't do much to my ranking :). I don't do anything with it all day. Actually, if you don't mind experimenting for me and clicking the refresh button on your site 100X a day to see if it helps, that would be great!! Regarding me commenting elsewhere. I feel that if a writer has spent at least his:her time putting together something interesting or helpful for us to read, we readers at the very least should comment and provide some input! It's the right thing to do. Cheerio!

I do see comments from you everywhere, so perhaps that's helping, too. Anyway, I've now read a few more articles on FS and I have to say I like the site a lot. We certainly don't agree on everything, but you have a really zippy attitude that personally I find refreshing, FWIW. Will try to stop in more! @admin

I've done no SEO stuff, and don't even know how to add a metadata tag thingy! Maybe some can show me, haha. It seems like once you download the Alexa toolbar, put the badge up, write some content you feel passionate about, get to know other publishers, type real comments on other sites, and try and freely help others, folks will come? Seems like there's a high correlation and how many have built up traffic. Don't know any secret sauce. Does hitting the refresh button a lot on my site help? :) @Monevator Donno mate, it’s my first go at it. I’ve done no SEO stuff, and don’t even know how to add a metadata tag thingy!
