What Happened to My Rank?

I was a rising star

The world was stuck indoors and I decided to make the most of this itme. After a nearly a year of hibernation it was time to exercise my fingers and get ready for posting at least 1 article per day on my website.

It wasn't really a blog a day

I tried but getting one post a day is bloody hard. Nonetheless, my site made significant progress.,, and I was interacting with people here at Wealthy Affiliates. Giving and asking for comments, getting some new referrals in AND learning soooo much. It was a lot of fun.

And suddenly I was #369 And ...

Wow, of almost 500k people, I was ranked 369. Could I, possibly hit Top 200 or even Top 100? I started working harder. Welcoming new premiums, giving more comments and for the first time helping people on live chat (I'm no expert myself but I tried)

Then Poof

I woke up this morning ... and to my chargin I was ranked 1809. Can't help but wonder what I did wrong. I know, the rank or the top 200 badge won't make me rich ... but still there is a nagging feeling of disappointment. So my WA family, can anyone help me understand what happened here.

Sorry for bringing up this trivial rank issue but it does irk me a bit.

On a positive note

I will continue working on my site and keep helping all of you. Technical glitch or not, I should be in the Top 200 soon.
