I know what's behind everyo
You are judging the motives of "most" people on here ranking to either pretend or compete. I don't think that's totally correct. I do think it is in part. I don't think that's fair to place such judgments, though you do have the right to such opinion.
Speaking for myself, I'm very proud of this community and the cause behind it. It has done more for me than any other venue I've ever been trying to get the social help I've needed for years.
I also keep a Journal. I have since 1973. It contains thousands of pages. I've written three books. I've been very active in another forum just before and partly concurrent to being here.
I do not have many friends outside of here. That's just the way it is. All of my writing efforts are online. This community is where most of my friends are. To me, this is where all the action is socially. I am trying to branch out through my campaign.
I have high ranking. Others have expressed their feelings towards me that I've put so much content on here to rank high for the sake of doing that.
My point is, I do an awful lot of writing every day. It makes up for my lack of oral speaking. I do not have a voice in my physical surroundings. It's been that way for years. WA has been an extension of my Journal and makes up much of it since 2010.
Even though I'm a paying member, I feel I need to return extra favour because I've gotten much more than just learning how to market on the Internet. So, I try to be active in here and write things that would be helpful to others - or I try to. Just like your complaint in the other blog, sometimes my own writing doesn't even get a single "like" or a response. That can be disappointing, but not because it didn't help my ranking. Not everything I write makes a big hit. Once in a while it does.
There are others somewhat like me, or they may have other reasons why they are active on here. We have Kyle & Carson saying, "Be active." We have a number of members saying don't do that. Time is money.
I don't particularly like the ranking incentives on here either. It has always been a place to game the system. Thing is, you don't know others' circumstances and motives. It's not fair to some of us who did wind up high on the ranking to have such stigmatization. Not all of us are doing any gaming. In a big way, I wish WA would just abandon the idea of having a ranking system on here. That would really weed out who's really helping and who isn't. I have a feeling the helping aspect is not particularly going to get hurt by retiring the ranking system.
This membership is just too good for that.
We have the owners here having established the ranking system on here and they encourage helping with such an incentive. On the other hand we have members saying that paying any attention to the ranking on here is bad.
Helping on here and reaping the incentives of the ranking (how little they be) is not the same thing as helping others in order to rank. Quite the fine line here, and there are people on both sides. I would not go so far as to say MOST people are on the side of the latter.
If being high in rank is such a bad thing because it must entail wrong motives and competition, then I too should tank my ranking, as others are apparently doing. I could do that very quickly and be off the entire list of 100.
There are many people on here that have been here since 2007, 2008, 2009 (first half of WA's existence) who are still with us, but they are unseen.
I wrote this in a hurry because I have to be somewhere. So, it's total impromptu and unedited. If something is off kilter or doesn't make sense, my apology. I will deal with it later. This is turning into a mess and I hate seeing this occurring.
~~~
I'm back home and I just want to add one more thing...
It is universal consensus, even amongst Kyle, Carson and the top performers on here:
Your business needs to come first. I'm not always consistent with this, but we all need to have publishing schedules and to treat our businesses like we would any employer assigning work to be done. That is, get the important work done first (our campaigns) and then go to helping on here.
Just noting how the courses on here are set up - getting folks in the habit of doing the necessary work by scheduling page/post assignments almost every day based on the core perspective of each lesson. When the learning is over, we seem to go on vacation and the campaigns sit.
Before most of us came on here for the first time, we knew why we were coming on here (to learn, do the exercises and to build campaigns.) If we are finding we are doing other, then this needs some serious thought and a getting back in line with our own businesses.
You can read my post all the time. You don't need to be as blatant as i am. You can express your opinion to others at anytime because we have the right.
Enjoy reading...
Try not to let other members opinions bother you.
This is a community so you need to remember that everyone is free to express their own opinion on anyones post/discussion.
Oh no! I have this feeling that you are hating me right now, Arnel, cause I was there too.. :-(( okay, you can hate me, but pleaseeee not too much, you still one of my favorite star here, Arnel.. Peace :-))
I read this post, but I must have missed something because I don't even know what you are talking about. Wish I had more insight.
Nope...not mad at you, Arnel...but I don't know why...there are no comments here except mine. Strange. Of course...I wasn't one of the people trying to debate you. Have a good day.

Think I might have missed something here, am I right in thinking that someone perhaps did not agree with a post you put up either way do not let it bother you, Kyle encourages us to ask questions, but I am sure he would also no want anyone to offend another, hope it has all passed and you will not let things get in the way of your journey
Its up to others how they understand it. I was just only expressing my opinion or telling people so that they will know.

I posted 3 blogs, discussions, helping others and etc from day 1 to 3 and i only got 4 moves? That's too unfair while others got 6-23 moves. I'm not saying, i envy them for givi
I too have no interest in WA ranking, and am becoming more convinced, based on other people's concern about ranking, that it is counter-productive.
People should be here to learn how to make money online, help others benefit from their experiences and grow their businesses.
Spending time worrying about how you rank and what to do to rank here better is focusing on the wrong thing.
How you rank in Google, how well you are building a list that you can mail to over and over again and how you are developing a repeatable blueprint for your business that you can rinse and repeat are what matters.
Concentrate on those things and won't have another bad day.
hwdirect I feel if you can get your point across in a post or a page or a website and help someone that is stuck with something and your rank is 1,000 000 it shouldn't mean crap-ola because you have helped someone with a unique problem and the good you feel from that is worth more than Kyle's rank on here LOL not that I wouldn't mind his rank but it doesn't bother me I mean my rank is 372 I have 6 blog posts on my profile 1 unique site I am building I am having fun
I have never been concerned about my ranking. Never. I help where I can. I am here to make money. I am here to help people too! But, I limit myself. I don't comment usually on blogs that already have been answered. I usually would not even bother with this one. I am being cynical. Yes, I am. If you really want to help people then do it on your website where hopefully you can be a service to others and then make some money.
So, did you come to WA and say, "I want to join WA so I can help people, improve my ranking, answer questions for other people because they don't keep up with their own referrals, because I want to make a blog where everyone can read it and enjoy it, (I think you get the drift)
Or did you come to WA to learn, grow, build a quality website that will benefit your customers and also earn some money?
You are a unique person and can do wonders for people with your own niche on your own website. Concentrate on them.
I am not saying don't participate in WA. Just don't let ranking bother you. Go and write a fantastic article for your site.
Best wishes to you!
Sherion I agree with you I have been involved in computer's and the internet pretty much since it started I know a fair bit about this and that but even I feel that you can always learn something new from other's that have been where you haven't there not on the same token better than you but they have seen things from a different angle.
Why are you complaining? You are ranked 53. Plus you should have figured out by now that the higher you go in the WA rankings the lower or slower you move up.
How are you ranking in Google with your website? That is the ranking you should be focused on because that is what will determine your chances of making money. WA ranking has NO effect on how much money you will make.
Pat (pcook410) said it best below.
I know. My first website is just a test page and not my main. I'm still doing my 2 websites. Take alook at oldmule why is it his rank moves 23. That's a big question?
So what! Why should that matter? Like Kyle says in his blog about WA Ranking (see below link), "Don't worry about anyone else's activity other than yours."
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/kyle/blog/ambassadorship-gaming
boomergp08 Yes I see ya point that's the main focal point the website that you have built you have written all the unique content yourself NOT copied it as some Black Hat site designers do you have got your point out on the world wide web done all your S E O used a nice theme think before wordpress you had to code everything HTML (HyperText MarkUp Language) Think your self lucky why do people windge about there rank on here beyond me...
This community is lucky to have a member like you boomergp08 I get a lot out of your blogs and comments and truly respect what you say.
Thank you for being such a help to the community here.
You need to be more worried about your online business then where you rank at WA. Your ranking will not get you any rewards just recognized as someone who provides help and info to the WA community. Your website is what you are aiming to become an expert at and not the WA community. Debbie
I think that you should look at the general direction of travel. I feel sure that your ranking position (over a period of time) is improving in accordance with your contribution :) Have a great weekend and take a longer term perspective. Best wishes Mark
I'm not sure I understand your post. I do like what giludi said about not knowing the activity of the others so it is hard to compare your activity with theirs but I also feel like if you are helping for helping's sake and less concerned with rankings things will happen.
For example I came in a couple months ago around 6999 and am now at 237.
I haven't concerned myself with rankings but help where I can and when I can. Just do the right thing for the sake of the right thing and be satisfied with your generous, giving and helpful nature. Those of us that follow appreciate your efforts.
Hi Arnel! Don't be mad, it's just an off day for you is all . . . . Please know that we all appreciate everything you do to help us have better websites and more knowledge. Don't pay so much attention to the rankings. I know that they are there to make us want to work harder and be a big part of the community. For that, it's good. However; do what comes natural and just enjoy what you are doing. If your rank goes up, great, if it doesn't, so what? You are a great guy and we all know it! So, hold your head high and go with knowing that you truly make a difference in everyone's life! Now, how cool is that??
I will just smile. Because i like what you said it makes me unhefty. I begin to like you. Thanks a bunch. :)
Cybridge, I can definitely understand your concern, but I would like to offer you some simple advice to help you feel better. Forget your ranking on WA and focus on your ranking with your website. Spend this energy you are using to worry about your WA ranking to create some really quality content on your website.....content that reaches out to touch the needs of your readers. Keep adding content daily. Build up your traffic. Make friends with your readers by responding to their comments. Over time you will find that your WA ranking will have risen much further than you ever anticipated. When you micromanage it and watch it every few hours, it can become a detrimental distraction to your forward progress. Writing more and more blogs each day isn't going to affect your ranking that much, but writing good content on your website will. That's where the action should be!
Just my 2 cents worth.
Pat
OMG! I don't know what to say.... A big smile from me. Actually, i made 2 websites that are not live yet and the other one is modified. Thanks a bunch pcook.
You are very welcome, cybridge! I'm glad you took my remarks the way I intended them. I just want to see you successful and happy! Try not to look at that ranking box if you can. That way your surprise after a couple of weeks will be a delight to you!
Pat
You're not the only one wondering. But as we don't know the activity of the others it's difficult to clarify. I've seen some people ranking in top 50, and their only comment on helping questions is: Sorry I don't know neither! And that make them ranking upwards. Perhaps we should do the same.
I went up 4 and I think that was about right, but I'm getting closer to the top so I am not expecting much more, though I have created quite a lot today already. 2 discussions and one blog so far.

I've just notice that my rank never changes after almost 38 hrs. already
Does anyone experience this or ?
Please share if you have noticed anything. Thanks!
Be
I keep my eye on the biggest movers and they haven't changed in 48+ hours, Old mule was top with +6 then Blanken A with +5 they are still the same as is mine, Kylie's and Cybribges.
My ranking changed within the last 24 hours. However, it all depends on how actively you are involved - if you are active on a consistent basis and don't drastically change the amount you help/create, etc... it's very normal for your rank not to change for several days...
Oh.. dunno then... mine's been changing normally.
Last year it used to change at midnight, recently I've noticed it changing at random times...
Hi Arnel, if you look at ambassadors nobody has changed. I know who was where for several members. You haven't, I haven't nor old mule.
Yeah, because i also keep an eye on 100's and 12 ambassadors. you will see the movement with red and green color.
Yeah, because i also keep an eye on 100's and 12 ambassadors. you will see the movement with red and green color. But nothing change specially mine. I wonder why this happens when i already send 2 blogs already.
They could be working on the system or they may be keeping us keen. LOL like playing with a fish.
I usually notice sometime mid-day (my time) that my rank changes- so should be soon for me. It hasn't changed since yesterday, but it usually hovers in the 50's so I don't really notice much.
Have wondered over the last 24 hours myself - says no blog activity but put 2 out since the last update.
Hmmm - who may know?

Yes! Wikipedia is an example that has sub-domain ranking daily.

Good to know. I'm still really unenlightened about the whole subdomain concept. Yet another thing to add to my list!
it does help if you have an massive authority site, but the principle of valuable content being valuable wherever it sits is true..thanks, Andy
yep ---they can it will take a lot of what you said to keep it there and with all the people that post and visit their website they will rank ---thanks for reminding us --
Your welcome. Just need to tell people about this so they won't be worried about their rankings if ever they have subdomains created from their own domain name.

Some of us ask what really does this rank gives you? What are the benefits? Do they give you commission or credit? What should we do when you are at that rank or level? What are
I believe it's all about have being useful to other and indeed ourselves. No payment but just an encouragement. Some people in here do passionately love helping people and spreading the word/knowledge.
in a nutshell: "it is not about what you say about yourself that matters, but what others are saying about you" there you go!
Hi Andy, you can't wait to get on the WA site can you, I thought that I was early. You must have got here about 6.15 straight after your paper round LOL,
Hi, I have to structure my day this way, the rest of it is not my own...but I am a lark rather than an owl so what the heck!
Rank does not do anything for you financially in a direct manner. However it does give you authority in the community. And what does that say...... To me it tells me that this person has been here awhile and has been active in the community. So I kind of look to them as a leader. But if your only goal is to make money then your rank doesn't matter but having people with higher ranks here to answer your questions really matters. Because that is what makes the difference for most of us. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks for sharing your views, rod. At least people will be inform of and know what is this all about. I created this discussion so that others will participate and tell us what are their views regarding this.

You don't earn commission for being an Ambassador. The rank is achieved by how much time you spend interacting with other members of WA - through blogs, discussions, training materials, Live Chat...
Not everyone has the time to interact - nor should anyone feel obliged to. Some of the most successful members of WA don't appear in the top 100 because they are focused entirely on their own business.
Benefits .... each person would have to decide that for themselves - but I would say that they are generally intangible benefits.

I already know about the link. I was just asking people who knows more about this who has achieve their ranks and what else you will get. Thanks for sharing this.
A bit shy at first, but talkative in the long run when i manage to get along with others. Its not bad to ask questions its just like we need some information just to inform others as well other than me.
Well Arnel the way I see it, if you get as high ranking as Ambassador, you get a wealth of things. Sorry, I am not talking about commission or credit. Earlier I was watching a youtube video by a presenter who tries to build a relationship with his followers. Don't we hear that here at WA? And you being 'a bit shy', what better way to ease out of that by communicating with others in a non-intrusive manner. And I believe with each and every opportunity that we have daily to write a blog, a question, a discussion or a training, we are honing in on skills that we either had forgotten we ever had or never had but because we write often they have developed. I am a teacher and I constantly tell my students that to get better at something they have to practice and it's not for me but for their benefit. And I want the best for them so I push them to practice and I help motivate them to want to practice. I like to think that it is part of Kyle & Carson's master plan that by helping others we're really helping ourselves to develop and become the persons we need to become to have strong successful businesses that relate to people. This might not be anything CLOSE to what you were expecting to read but it was something I'd wanted to say for a while (I can be shy sometimes too) and took advantage of your question. Great success to you friend!
More work by helping, less time to take care of their websites. But isn't that the spirit of WA?

Hi - I like John's point on this - it is a nice feeling to see your rank get higher - but it can also reflect how much time you are spending helping and contributing, as opposed to working on the reason you came here in the first place.
Admirable as that may seem (and is), if you are here to create a business, you need to ensure you manage your time to both help others (if that's what you get a buzz doing - I know I do), and to follow the teachings and read the posts and replies from others, to ensure you progress with your fundamental reason for being here.
All the best, Mark

What do the ambassador rank gives you?
Some of us ask what really does this rank gives you? What are the benefits? Do they give you commission or credit? What should we do when you are at that rank or level? What are

Think I might have missed something here, am I right in thinking that someone perhaps did not agree with a post you put up either way do not let it bother you, Kyle encourages us to ask questions, but I am sure he would also no want anyone to offend another, hope it has all passed and you will not let things get in the way of your journey
Its up to others how they understand it. I was just only expressing my opinion or telling people so that they will know.
