How is that done and what do you have to do?

The most mine has been raised with WA in one day is 4 points.

What is the secret?

The only thing I know is when I do nothing my ranking stays the same, but if I do anything on WA I lost 3 points in ranking...lol..I don't care though as I still like to help others when I can, and work on my stuff! :) Trying to put my first training together on my computer so I can load it when it's done! :)

It's all relative -- When a member's ranking is in the thousands (or even high hundreds) range, rankings can change very rapidly That seems to be mainly the effect of the ranking comparisons being made against other members who are less active on WA.

The higher you go in rankings, the "competition" you encounter for ranking is with much more active members. At that point, ranking changes tend to occur much more slowly and in smaller increments.

Now, that makes sense.

No idea my friend. After the change in the ranking system, I noted members moving up and down with large steps. No idea what is happening.

Don't know, Booby. I'm still trying to get back to where I was pre-change.

Maybe an Algorithm glitch!

I personally have no idea Bobby, but if you do ever find out the answer to that one can you please let me know as well. I am the same in that I have never moved any more than 3-4 at a time.

Big jump or fall that one lol. xxx

Hi Bob, I would like to know. My ranking stays for 2 weeks now. No Change!

I think the WA system would answer that.

Good question

Good... question ! ;)

I am not spamming! This is a serious question.

LOL. I wasn't suggesting you were. If you stop and think about it, why would members suddenly be spamming questions? I posted that link so you could have a read of Tony's question, it will answer yours. :D

Thank you,

I know there has been recent changes. But I was wondering how a person's rank goes up soo fast.

Rising 200 to 300 points a day! Wow!

Maybe these are fluctuations of a transition period. I believe there are complex algorithms involved.

I used to worry about my rank all the time, but now I don't even pay attention to it. I'd rather focus on my websites and building my business.

That's what we are all supposed to be here for!!

I went from 200 to 400. Now I'm at 435.

Maybe they have based the evaluation 6 months back.

Well, I drop from a 600 to a 6000 :(

I really don't watch it I try and build my website and help others whenever I can, I figure my rank will reflect what I do on it's own!

Randy

Here is Carson's resent post on this issue, they have made several updates in the WA ranking system, it is all explained in Carson's post Hope this clarifies it for you
Cheers,
SF

Thanks for the link.

My rank hasn't changed since the new system was rolled out. So I have no idea. Did anything get posted about the roll out? I haven't seen anything. Wondered if I missed it.

Did you read Carl's post about the ranking, and his update?

No I must have missed it I will look for it.

You did miss it, I read it but I am still confused about it! Four days ago I had a 1444/ then it went to 7999 and stayed that way until this morning. Read my question above and you can see why I am confused!

Terry,

Thanks for the link. Things make more sense now.

wow!! That's a lot of points :)..I average about 5 points going up a day, not trying to, but I figure it's kinda cool that 5 seems to be my magic number lately..5 sales in a day, 5 blogs I'm working on, 5 affiliate programs I'm a member of, I have 5 children...you get the gist...lol

Play that number.
I have previously asked if when you go up in rank does the number go down { which seems to be direct opposites!}?

Hi Linda,
yes it seems a little strange at first. Just remember that 1- 25 are the Ambassadors. As your number get higher, ie; 25-1000 for example the lower your RANK. Higher the number, lower the rank. Lower the number (1-25 for Ambassadors) higher the rank.
confused yet! :0)

It's truly best to not be so concerned about your rank and build your business instead. The whole reason you came here I'm sure.

Hope you have an awesome week!!!

Mark

Here's a high five....

lol..love it! :)

Wow! Should surely be your lucky number!:)

My favorite number has always been 4, but I think 5 suits me better lately...lol

7 is even better, don't you think so?:))

Hello American, I live on the east coast in the state of Maryland.
Thank you so much for your explanation. You helped to take away the confusion!
you're right, I am here to make money, not to worry about rank. Thanks again for further guidance, and I do appreciate it!
Linda

Thank you Linda! I'm not the most articulate person so I'm glad you understood me, lol!

:0)

You did great!
Linda :)

I have no idea Bobby. I totally do not understand anything about the new ranking platform! It just is what it is!!

When you want to sell a website how do we go about that?

I've known Chuck Mullins at Quiet Light Brokerage for many years. He started the website brokerage a few years ago, and I've seen some of the deals he's done - all have been good. You can always contact him and see if it's a fit. https://www.quietlightbrokerage.com/about/chuck-mullins

I wondered that myself a couple days ago.

Glad you asked how to sell our websites Bob, seems like Flippa.com is the easiest way.

~Steven

I came across "Flippa" some years ago when I was researching how to sell a website. I think you can buy and sell websites there.

I do want to sell some of mine

No, I don't want to sell mine.

Bobby - There are a bunch of website brokers out there that list sites for sale.

As Mike mentioned below, Flippa is the most well known, as it is an auction site where you can get good domains at fairly cheap prices.

Flippa also has a Deal Flow site for their best offerings.

Some other sites of mention are Empire Flippers and Website Closers.

There are others as well and if you Google them you can click through to see their listings.

I've kicked the tires on a few listings, but there is always a deal breaker or the price is just too expensive.

Put it up for sell???

Just asking.

I'm guessing!!!

www.flippa.com is the biggest source!

Thanks Mike

thanks for the info.

The blogs that you write from your profile do you back them up?

We can post 3 blogs each day and then they are saved. Then we can post them the following day. Be careful

every time I update the theme i do it

It is done automatically, isn't it?

I always back up everything!!!!

P

Nice question. I'll do that.

Bobby - Appreciate the tip.

Bobby - Great tip. Thank you.

Thanks for pointing that out Robert

You're welcome Mike

If they aren't deleted, where do they go????

If you go to your "my profile" and click it open, you will see all your blogs, questions and trainings.

The ones that are saved will show unpublished for that day. You will have to click on whichever type it is. EG Blog, question,training.

The next day you may go in and publish it. FYI Training videos are restricted to one per day.

I did not know this. See I learned something new again today!! Thanks for the info Mike!!!

Blessed weekend!!!

T

You're welcome. I added to that comment so you may want to re-read it.

Blessings your way!

Mike

Very good, thanks,

I will go back and re-read.

Thanks

Still back up

Cool..... Thanks!!!

You're welcome my friend.

Mike, that is great when everything works right. There could be a glitch and then it is lost. That is why I said for safety sake ,
Please back it up!
Thank you,
Bobby

You are right!!

Good question, I asked support and still didn't get a response.
That is why I always backup anything that I blog or post.
I would rather be safe than sorry.
Bobby

Me too!!! I will start backing up.

Thanks!!

I really think that is wise,

Thanks Bobby!

Have you had any experience using Face Time or Skype on your websites?

Bobby - I use Skye once a week for our corporate meetings and once a month for our board meeting. Works well and is easy to use. I don't have any information on the cost, as it's included with the Microsoft seat license.

I use Skype for calls to Europe, Asia, USA, Canada...I've tried others but find it the most cost effective way to have a face to face share presentations and communicate effectively.

Now does that slow down your website any?

Shannon, I'm not using it on my site, for communications outside my sites.

Gotcha! The question was about websites so I believed you to be answering the question!

My mistake

Yes, I would also be interested in hearing on use with websites.

Sorry I can' t help you, I dont have a Website yet, work in progress for me, however I do use Zoom to communicate with people its super easy to use and is free hope that helps.

Hi Bobby I have used both face time and skype.

I used skype to speak to someone about my site but have only ever used facetime when I was away in Tenerife to call my hubby because we both have iPhones so it doesn't cost anything.

You can also make free video calls on WhatsApp.

They are all rather easy to use. xx

I use Skype frequently but not on website.
Richard

Thank you Richard.

I'm always using both. What do you need ?

Just wanted to see how it benefits everybody.

I talk to people on skype all the time. 5 years ago I put $30.00 into skype and have only used $6.00 of it in that time. I share screens all the time and it does not cost anything. The only way to go.
Tom.

Tom, I appreciate your comments how it benefits you.

I use Skype all the time, but not on a website.

That is a good form of communication.

I regularly Skype my mentor Bobby!

Well, see this is a benefit.

I use Skype quite often, but n ot on a website, can you??

That is what I wanted to see if anybody does this in someway.
