This is getting ridiculous!

Along the way in my time at WA my rank has slowly ticked upwards. I eventually got into the 100s Super exciting!

Then I managed to break that 100 barrier! What an event! Then I even hit 75!

75 out of all the thousands that are here, that is amazing! I am amazed....

Then last week it ticked up to 65! 65! OMG!

It got to the point whenevery time I logged on I was relieved to see that it hadn't changed. "Stop liking my posts!" I was yelling at the screen. I had cut back my commenting, only contributing when I thought it was important. I haven't made any training or resources, why was I of all things reaching today ....60!

People will start thinking I know what I am doing! I do to a point but I don't think that my rank reflects my internet marketing abilities or current success.

I guess I am trying to say that your success is better measured by the performances of your websites than your WA rank. It is not something I personally think you should be focusing on.

I think you should think of it like you do in your business, your prime focus is helping people. If you concentrate on this as your priority then your business can only succeed. If you concentrate on helping people here, participating to a level that you are comfortable with then you ranking will likely increase. It should be a pleasant side effect. That is what I think at the moment anyway :) I would love to know what you think about it, disagree or back me up or have a completely different idea.

I only ask that you don't press the like button.
