Gar The Texan Has The Lowest Alexa Ranking Of Anyone I Know

I don't have the slightest idea what use it is, but there is this website called Alexa that generates what are called Alexa Rankings.

If your website gets an Alexa Ranking in the Top 100,000 apparently that is a good thing. Sort of the Internet equivalent of having a Top 20 TV Show in the Nielsen Ratings.

I'd not paid much attention to the Alexa Rankings due to not knowing what good it did me to pay any attention.

So, today, Sunday, I was bored. I decided to look at my Alexa Rankings.

Imagine my surprise when I saw that this very blog you are reading right now has an Alexa Ranking of 404,876, meaning there are only 404,875 websites and blogs, in America, that get more traffic than this one.

Then I looked at my Eyes on Texas website's Alexa Ranking. 242,002. That seemed like a good number.

Next I looked at my TV blog's Alexa Ranking. 196,477! I've only 96,476 to go and I'll crack the Top 100,000. Which is supposedly a good thing to do.

I was curious as to what the Alexa Rankings were for other blogs with which I am familiar.

So, I looked at Gar the Texan's Alexa Ranking. 18,280,372.

How about the Queen of Wink's blog? 5,056,098. Apparently the Queen of Wink gets a lot more blog traffic than her ex-classmate from decades ago, Gar the Texan.

What is Twitter's Alexa Ranking you can't help but wonder? After all it was down for hours this morning. It must have a bad Alexa Ranking. No. Twitter is #12.

What can we possibly do to get Gar the Texan's Alexa Rankings up to a Queen of Wink level?

Our North Texas Community

For months Big Ed has been working on what I thought was a blog. I looked at it a few times during it's genesis and it didn't make me cringe as bad as I often do when reading something written by Big Ed. I've only looked at a little of it. It is likely there is something in there that will cause cringing.

Big Ed's blog, or website, I can't tell what it is, I thought it was a blog, but it looks like a website, anyway, it is called Our North Texas Community. It is now ready for primetime.

I see a link titled "We Watch Out For Moms Here." Just the title made me cringe a little.

There is a list of Recent Posts. I see one titled, "What Turns You On?" I don't think I'm gonna click on that one.

The internet has this thing called Alexa Rankings that are sort of like the Nielsen Ratings. Only it is the popularity of a website that is being ranked instead of a TV show. The goal is to get into the top 100,000 of websites. If you do that, you've made it in Website World. It's like having a hit TV show.

Big Ed's Our North Texas Community currently has an Alexa Ranking of just over 500,000. Alexa's stats have Big Ed's visitors staying over a half hour on average.

Of my blogs, the one you are looking at right now has the highest Alexa Ranking, something in the 1,200,000 zone. The average stay of my visitors is under 3 minutes. I get a lot of comments on this blog. Big Ed has gotten 1 comment.

So, now I have yet one more thing to be perplexed about. Alexa Rankings. And our north Texas community.
