Shadowed by rankings and ratings

Shadowed by rankings and ratings

This is so odd ...

My WA ranking was 3k+ a couple of weeks ago. Then it climbed up and up and up to 5k+ over the last few days. Now I'm at an all-time low of 1183?! Wonder how long that will last before it climbs again.

I'm not complaining. I'm just intrigued and in a musing mood.

I'm not consciously chasing it, but it intrigues me to see it shadow me as I prowl through WA's corridors and archives, mining for hidden SEO gems.

It just seems that everything I do online, it's all for making my rating and ranking shadows take on more of a substance. I feel like Peter Pan trying to pin down my shadow and draw it for the likes of Google and Pinterest and Facebook and Twitter ... and yes, WA ... to see and note.

Fascinating: I had to specify at least 2 tags before I could post this. Someone already created a "rating your areas of life" tag.

This online business is fascinating.
