Alexa Viral Train

I was searching for Sohemoney's SERP scripts on Google, when I stumbled on a freelance web-designer - Darjan Panic from Slovenia, who joined an Alexa viral, link and after reading the piece, I felt that it is worth giving a try in order to improve my Alexa ranking (Agloco Hours blog is currently ranked 603,159). It is important so that we would be able to measure, in the next few weeks and months to come, if this Alexa train is really working.

The Viral Feeds and the Viral Tags really worked for my two blogs. The last three weeks has really improve the Technorati ranking and authority of my blogs. Telenovela Love Garden inched up from 19 to 31 while Agloco Hours leaped from 34 to 89.

I would be watching to see in the next one to three weeks, if this Alexa viral experiment would take my Alexa rank from the present 603,159. In the blogosphere, Alexa ranking is a major metric used by many advertising networks to determine how much money to pay you for participating in their projects.

The blogosphere has exploded with a buzz of ingenious link-building strategies in the last three months. The reason for this is the urge by bloggers to make more money with their blogging activities. Such monies would be bigger if they have higher rankings- Tecnorati, Alexa, Google page rank, etc.

Today names like Carl Ocab, the 14-yr old whizkid blogger, Gary Lee, Andy Coates, Jimmy Huen, Ilker Yoldas are all synonymous with viral trains, either, of the Technorati, Alexa, Icons, Tags, Feeds, etc. I am once again jumping into this Alexa Viral train through this post.

According to Carl:

"The idea is to make a list of bloggers with an Alexa redirect link to their
blog. We all know that if you go to a site through an Alexa redirect, the visit
is recorded by Alexa and it adds to your rankings! Cool"

To participate, just follow the rules:

ReviewMe's 5-Star 'Generals'

I got a shocking revelation recently when John Chow (60th on Technorati), 'thanked' ReviewMe for restoring his rightful fifth star as a blogger. In that post, he told us how there were only three of them in that elite club of 5-star bloggers, on the ReviewMe network.

The other two are Jeremy 'Shoemoney' Schoemaker (69th on Technorati), and Performancing (23rd on Technorati). This revelation triggered my curiousity, so I went headlong to dig up the mystery arithmetic of rating and ranking by Reviewme. This is the outcome of my protem findings.

I found out SEVEN REASONS why the Top 20 or most popular bloggers in the world, by Technorati rankings, did not participate in the ReviewMe network, and these are the first three salient reasons (the second part- 4 Reasons, would be the subject of another posting):

1. The elite bloggers have all carved a niche for themselves in the blogosphere. Some of them blog for fame and for fulfillment of their passions, and not for miserly money (if you consider $250 share per review for the biggest bloggers- John Chow currently earns $200).

2. To 'divert' into openly disclosed paid reviews, would cause a 'social riot' on these popular blogs by their loyal readership base.

3. Others among them earn so big incomes and patronage that, they would not want to descend to the meagre offers of a relatively new network like ReviewMe. For example, Jeremy Schoemaker who earns over $130,000 mointhly from Google Adsense network alone, would not bend to the ReviewMe opportunity.

He (Shoemoney), living up to his name, unrepentantly outprized his reviews by five-fold ($2,500), virtually more than all bloggers in the ReviewMe network! I doubt if he would ever get any advertiser to give him a nudge.

As ReviewMe grows to reckoning among big advertisers, an offer of 5K to 10K per review may no longer be strange. Maybe, the Top 20 bloggers in the blogosphere would change their mind and join the network, but for now, it is a 'No-go' arena, meant for small and medium level success bloggers. What do you think?

I would write next on, the arithmetic mystery performed by ReviewMe to rank bloggers and why it differs from the traditional metrics used by other stakeholders in the blogosphere.

Agloco Referral Hours Update #3

Here we go, as I have promised to daily update you of AGLOCO hours cumulated by members. This is the 3rd update. See for yourselves.

1. John Chow - 19,105 membrs 2,715.9 Hours Get Paid Surfing
2. Saad Sogair - 6,425 membrs 705.2 Hours Get Paid Surfing
3. Mike Klingler - 3,476 membrs 578.8 Hours Get Paid for Surfing

We welcome new Agloco activists Saad Sogair from the Middle East (at this stage, we are all new members, anyway). Also Aaron Nimocks a First Class Petty Officer of the U.S Navy, working on the Tactical Tomahawk Weapon Control System. Who swelled our AGLOCO Hour ranks. Saad has over 6,000 referrals and 705.6 network referral hours, thereby coming second, after John Chow. Aaron has about 2,190 members with over 251 referral Hours, coming fifth after Didi.

Pls don't forget to send in the screenshot of your Agloco referral network, which includes your referral membership, your Agloco ID and your Accumulated network referral hours to aglocomasses@yahoo.com, and if youhave a blog or website include it in your message so we could point a link to you.

John Chow Rocks Agloco Hours!

I had waited since June 4, when Agloco Viewbar was launched to see how the Big Four (David Lawrence 39,514, RZ McCall 36,415, Mr. X 35,525 and our beloved John Chow 19,105) would perform with their mega referral numbers. Would they have corresponding referral hours?

Now, I have a sample of answer from John chow's latest post. To date John has about 19,000+ Agloco referrals and his total network referral Hours accumulated is 2,715.9 Hours.

He calculated that to mean 11.4% of his referral network were actively downloading and using their Agloco Viewbar. This is exactly what I postulated in my earlier posts on the nework activity rate.

I therefore post the update of the Agloco network referral accumulated hours of the following members:

1. John Chow - 19,105 membrs 2,715.9 Hours Get Paid Surfing
2. Mike Klingler - 3,476 membrs 578.8 Hours Get Paid for Surfing
3. Diyana Alcheva (Didi) - 2,656 membrs 518.3 Hours Get Paid for Surfing
4. Aaron Nimocks - 2,190 membrs 251.1 Hours
5. Ansar Hamza - 2,197 membrs 29.7 Hours Get Paid for Surfing
6. Philomena Ojikutu - 212 membrs 8.6 Hours Get Paid for Surfing

Pls don't forget to send in the screenshot of your Agloco referral network, which includes your referral membership, your Agloco ID and your Accumulated network referral hours to aglocomasses@yahoo.com

Agloco Hours Competition Revs Up!

As all AGLOCO members begin to accumulate referral hours, I got another mail from Aaron Nimocks where he showed me the screenshot of his Agloco accumulated hours. He even boasted that his was bigger than that of Ansar Hamza. Aaron (2,190) has about the same referrals as Ansar (2,197), but has grown his referral hours (251.1 Hours), by ten times that of Ansar (29.7 Hours)!

I am hereby showcasing the daily growth of Agloco hours accumulated by everyone that sends me their screenshot. Like I mentioed in an earlier post, it is a healthy rivalry.

The Prize? Of course, people like to join the winning team! The bigger your AGLOCO accumulatedv hours, the higher you climb on the daily Updadate here. That means, visitors (and potential new Agloco members), are more likely click the topmost links (either to your site or your recruitment link), than the lower links.

1. Aaron Nimocks - 2,190 members 251.1 Hours
2. Ansar Hamza - 2,197 members 29.7 Hours Get Paid for Surfing
3. Philomena Ojikutu - 212 memebers 8.6 Hours Get Paid for Surfing
