The Ranking System
It's interesting, the last conversation someone else brought up about ranking was the second one I had been involved in. I never raised the question, but I did participate in both discussions. The only thing I mentioned was the difference between the pages (my profile and the front page) in numbers displayed, my profile being the lowest. Now, though, the last couple of days, the numbers are all the same. If they, the rankings, are important, it is nice when we have a consistent reference. If they are not that important, then I guess we just have something to talk about. In any case, I'm good.

I believe it is an indicator of how busy you are in the community and has nothing to do with the success of your blog. The help you get is nice and the help you give others is too. I find that my rank does not make me money and can be a distraction from working on my blogs. I am in the 150's now and it is slow moving. I agree with Prestones.
You'll find that site ranking moves like a caterpillar Broderick.
Even on the page shown when you click the "Rank" button, the bar graphs shown at the top, the rank shown on that page, and your rank shown on the "Rank" button may be out of sync. Situation: normal!
Don't fixate on your site rank though - that's a sure way to fail. Participate in the community, and your rank will reflect that participation.
Your focus should be on the amount of traffic coming to your site - and on how well it's converting to income! Leave your "Site Health" and "Site Rank" to tend to themselves. They won't pay the bills ;)
Best of luck with it!

Looking to the right, I can see that I've only posted one of these little blogs 3 times, so obviously I don't spend a lot of time being rankled over rankings. I wrote this last one about rankings to say, if one person had something to do with the stars realigning themselves,kudos, congratulations, we are one again. The other reason, was because I couldn't think of anything else to write about.
But you wrote, and that is practice and that is interacting with the community and that makes you Awesome man !!
