MoneyEnergy – Yup, I hear you. That said, the correlation with the rise in Alexa rankings is high with the number of visitors I see from Google Analytics and my Wassup visitor tracking plug-in. Like I write, it’s just fun to see the dynamic rankings in action.

Nothing is a perfect system, so I’m looking into other systems as well. Any suggestions?

I’d be cautious with using and relying on the Alexa toolbar if you’re in it to get Alexa rankings or use their numbers – it’s not very reflective of traffic performance. Your Alexa traffic numbers can drop even when your actual traffic numbers go up.

Thanks Craig! I just feel bad for asking :) But, when people ask me, I gladly oblige, in fact, not just tipping their latest article, but the last 5-10 of their articles. But then, I just wonder if it’s just a big game and an UNneccesary evil.

If you built a relationship with the person, I don’t think there is anything wrong with asking for Tipds. Maybe not every article, but twice a week. Feel free to ask me anytime and I will help out.

In order to bypass a registrar like GoDaddy you would have to become your own registrar which = $$$

Hi CCC – Thanks for the info. So just wondering why I can’t just own the domain name like Godaddy owns the domain name? Why do I have to pay Godaddy the annual fee? Can’t I just bypass them somehow since I own my domain name now? Put it another way, how did GoDaddy get my domain site in the first place, or are they just a middle man?

Ahh, love learning the basics, and will check out your article.

Thnx, Sam

Hey Joel – Yeah, my site went down from around 3pm-7pm PST b/c I was migrating to a new server on Media Temple. I twittered a warning earlier, but you may have not seen it. Safe to always e-mail me at financialsamurai AT gmail DOT com. Thnx! Sam
