Wealthy Affiliate Ranking Tip...
Hey Guys,
Just a quick blog to let you know about a recent discovery that I made.
Since joining WA back in March, I've been working hard to get to the Ambassador rank. I've been helping and answering as many questions as I can. I've been providing feedback and encouragement, and I've done my best to try and interact with the community as a whole.
Well, it's been paying off, and my rankings have been climbing with each day. During the process, I noticed something that I thought would interest everybody.
We all know that the little blue box in the top-right corner that says "Rank" is our current ranking right? Right.
Well, here's something that you may not know...
If you go to your own profile page, your rankings will likely be completely different. Why? Because, it appears that profile pages are the first to show the most recent ranking updates. These updates will eventually show up in the blue rank box, but it's usually many hours later. My rankings are typically 40 points higher on my profile page...
Want to know what your REAL rank is or which direction your heading?? Head over to your profile page.
To Success!

I figured that out the other day. They eventually catch up with each other. Thanks for sharing!
I inadvertantly noticed this as well. I think it's a timing thing. I does eventually catch up "in the blue box". It seems that it's an important goal of yours but don't forget your website is just as (if not more) important.
Hi Sui,
Yes, I agree that my website takes first priority. I just think having a higher rank can help give you more exposure and authority.
Thanks Josh,
I think that Ambassador ranking don't mean anything important. The only important topic here at WA are your learning progress and your skills, and the ongoing of your website ( content, traffic and google ranking). The WA Ambassador ranking is a nice toy, but nothing more. and my advice would be: Don't pay any attention!
Thanks giludi. I know it technically doesn't have much significance. It's just a goal of mine because it can help me gain exposure and authority not only in the WA community, but also in my niche.
Thanks Josh, That is good information to have. I have been trying hard myself to rank better. Sometimes it seem like no matter what I do my rank score doesn't move in a positive direction.
To Your Success!

Definitely getting higher and higher in WA rank.
It's now at 470937. He only has 470912 more points to go!
Maybe he will eventually get to the Ambassador list from the other end, or the back door.
But he's gone OUT the door.
Moral of this story...
It's nice to help out on here. Great to write blogs that are helpful, show one's progress and the occasional thing of interest (with reference to a lesson or tie in some way to online business.
It's okay to meet people and get on and talk. Nothing wrong with that.
It's okay to want to be on the Ambassador list. However, there are too many on there that don't have the experience and online income to show for their presence. Happy for those that ARE there and have these under their belts.
There are too many people who are NOT on there who need to be, but many of the spaces are taken up by those who made it top priority to be on there and shouldn't be.
I was on there myself, and didn't belong there - ever! However, I came to grips and let go.
When I have cracked the code for myself using the methods taught here - and have the income to back me up, then I might consider it. That might not ever happen (not the learning and mastering what's here, making the full-time online income, but in considering it.)
The WA ranking system is meant to be an incentive to be active on the platform, helping where it is needed, etc, but it should never take precedence over any other aspect of being on here nor campaigns.
It's quite likely this person never made the Ambassador list, and I wonder if in fact, he has ever even started on his campaigns in the short time he was here.
Remember what your thoughts were before you joined? Was it to rank on WA? Probably not. You wanted to build a business and WA was your choice in a learning environment to do that. Chances are, you never even knew there was a ranking system on here!
