Up and down again and again.
In just 2 months since I joined WA, just before Xmas, I had reached the top 500, with a rank of 475 or so. It felt great... I kept going up in the rank and was not even sure what I was doing right!!?! It just happened and I felt like 'I was on the right track of something here!'
Managed to catch a horrible virus over the Xmas holidays, with fever and everything. It was so bad I spent few days in bed with no energy, not even enough to continue working on my site or follow any training.
Went back to work on my stuff after the new year and now in just few weeks, I am at rank 740!! Not sure what I did wrong, or what I didn't do... just happened again. No big deal, as am not so much after the rank... but it seems to matter in the whole run!! As a general rule, people seem to follow more the ones who are in better positions than themselves. It is only normal. We are human and need to feel inspired by others who have managed through things before us.
If there is anyone who can inspire me on this, I would be grateful. Having said all that though, I wish to add I have been having a great time here at WA, enjoyed every minute, as all the feedback or messages I ever received, were always positive and supportive. SO, thank you WA, for making this a lovely journey.

Glad you are feeling better. It's very difficult for me to be really active in the WA community when I'm working hard on my website or at my other job, so I've experienced the same thing. I no longer feel bad when I watch my ranking slip since I know I am focusing on something more important.
