Need to start writing again! How rank averages work.

Well I'm not one to be too concerned about my WA rank but I like to play with it every now and then just for fun and to practice blog writing.

If you don't already know, there are 3 major metrics used to determine your WA rank. Those 3 metrics are your helper rank, your creator rank, and your activity rank.

Your total WA rank is, in general, determined by averaging these 3. Checking in today it looks like I'm way behind on one of those! haha

As you can see, my helper and activity ranks are in the low 400s, while my creator rank is about 700. So since my creator rank is significantly lower than the other two, I can make a significant change in my total rank by creating more content (blog posts and training).

To get a higher rank you need to be creating content, helping people, and being generally active. Not that ranks at WA matter that much, but it's fun to watch that number go up and down. lol

So let's do a little experiment here and see just how much one blog post changes my rank. I don't expect it to be that much, but we'll see. :D

What is your favorite thing to do on WA? Do you prefer helping people and answering questions, creating content, or just hanging out?
