The answer is quite a lot really but what does this have to do with an MLM Blogging Tips post? Everything when you know what these numbers refer to.
Twelve weeks ago the Alexa ranking for this blog was 2,353,877 and today it’s 186,322
Basically the most one ever needs to know about statistics is whether the upward or downward move is what you want or not. It could be either depending on what’s being measured. For instance if your weight goes up that is usually not that good and of course if it comes down one usually has treason to smile.
In the case of an Alexa ranking the lower the number the better. Sites are ranked according to their criteria against all other included sites with no 1 being the site that gets the most traffic. Now you may be thinking if 1 is the best then 186,322 is not all that good except that ‘s not what’s important here. Of more significance is by how much this number has decreased over time because this means one thing -
increased traffic!!!!!!!
This is exactly what every site owner wants because provided you know how to channel it, traffic turns into leads. MLM lead generation is a vital component of our business when it comes to list building.When you have a list can y0u build relationships with people and market to them over time.
Another important point to understand about statistics is that it’s always best to use a couple of different measuring methods to get a more accurate picture.
While the specific numbers can go up or down on a daily basis, more important is the emerging trend over time. I have not been keeping statistics on this blog for very long so I can’t show you any over an extended period of time but what I can show you will nonetheless present a trend. Traffic to this blog is increasing.
The following graphics show the number of visitors to my blog as determined by the WordPress Statistics plugin.
The above graphic shows the increase in traffic for the month of March and the graphic below shows the upwards trend of traffic from week 6 through 12 of the year.
While this trend is fantastic news, the real value lies in knowing what is responsible for the increase. When one knows what this is then one can ensure that one does more of the same.
In the video below I’ll tell you exactly what I implemented to increase my blog traffic so that you can do the same thing.

Marcus, great post about Alexa and the meaning of what added traffic everyday can do to your online business.
My blog, for example, dropped 20 Alexa points in 6 days. That doesn’t seem like much, but like the Slight Edge teaches, little steps done continuously over time produces big results. It’s the little steps. Are they easy to do? Not all the time, but easier when you get into a habit pattern. Are they real easy NOT to do? Most definitely, and that’s why so many – 95% of people – fail at network marketing.
Very interesting data, Marcus. I am not far behind you. You are a big motivator to me, my friend. Keep up the awesome work.

I have to say that tribes are the best method I’ve stumbled upon. I have learned more by reading blogs from fellow tribe members than from the training I bought for $$$. Jordan Schultz and your blog are a few of my favorite blogs and I am truly impressed by your value and willingness to help others!

Marcus it is just phenomenal what you have achieved in such a short period of time. Your consistency and the value that you constantly offer, keeps me coming back for more. The beauty of the tribe is that it is available to anyone if they get into action.
