Day 21: Achieving Google Page Rank

If you really want to crank up your skills, try a case study!

There is something about being held accountable, publishing results and a sort of peer review that forces you to look deeper, probe the inner workings and find real results. I highly recommend it.

That being said, it’s Day 21 (already) and although I took 5 days off to go camping (you really gotta love a work from home job that means you can take time whenever you want), I have, over the last few days continued with my experiment.

Before I post the numbers though, I want to reiterate one important point. The education I am receiving is priceless. I didn’t have to buy an eBook or home study course to get it either. I only had to be willing to put myself out there and study what I came across.

Day 21

Alexa: 632,058 (that’s a drop of 355,475 in 3 weeks!)
Google: Unranked (in other words, ZERO)

Day’s Activities

Remember, this is real life. I spend a little time each day looking for or commenting on blogs. Sometimes it’s only one. I skipped 5 days while camping over Memorial Day weekend (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday)

One other note about my commenting.

I mentioned in a previous post about Comment Sniper and how well it was working for me. Unfortunately, I expanded my "tool set" to include web design with PHP and MySQL, which required me to load some new DLL’s and libraries. These libraries conflict with Comment Sniper, so I get errors every time it tries to connect to the RSS feeds for the blogs I am watching. =(
