What I loved and learnt from #Myfriendalexa : How My Alexa improved in one month

The month of September 2017 went crazy with #Myfriendalexa.  Blogchatter gave my blog  a new friend  #Myfriendalexa  which further gifted me many new friends. Waiting eagerly for the reading list every week was fun and it was more fun to read all the blogs out of the list . Lots of engagements as a blogger, lot of reading, writing and learning.

Actually, a month  ago ,  I never knew what Alexa   rank meant. Why one talks of it ? Why one wants it to lower down ? How does it make a difference to my blog ?

When  I came to know of #Myfriendalexa campaign  to be hosted by the blogging community Blogchatter , I came to know a little about Alexa. Actually Alexa is a ranking system of sites  done by Alexa.com . This belongs to the company Amazon. The rank is calculated based on how many people visit your site . If the audience comes from someone who already has a good Alexa rank, better it is for your site.

As on date , I don’t know the minute details about Alexa ranking and how does it affect my site, but Yes , having participated in #Myfriendalexa in the month of Sep 2017 certainly improved my Alexa rank and gave me lot many visitors and the comments which kept me motivated the whole month .

On the first day  of #Myfriendalexa ( i.e. on Sep 1, 2017)

Global  rank of my site : 3029351( Approx 30 lakh)

Indian rank of my site :   148473 ( Approx  1.5 lakh)

On the last day of #Myfriendalexa (i.e. on Sep 30,2017)

Global rank of my site : 1198366 ( Approx 12 lakh)

Indian rank of my site : 50296( Approx 50 thousand)

So I see  a big change in my Alexa  in this one month of participation in #Myfriendalexa.  The global rank decreased by approx 18 lakh  and Indian rank decreased by approx 1 lakh. I  don’t know whether  I would be able to maintain this rank or not, but I would definitely try to.

What  I loved  and learnt   during  #Myfriendalexa camapign:–

1. Learnt  about  having a discipline in blogging.

2. Patience is one of the keys to success.

3. The more you read , the  better you are able to write .

4. Give love , receive double the  love back .

5. Making effective use of time .

e.g. while travelling in a cab or waiting in the bank , I could read one or two friends’ posts rather than just wasting my time replying to gudmornings on whatsapp.

6. Made some close friends while blogging for Navratri   festival  as a blogtrain #bloggarba

Thanks to Minakshi (@mommystimeline) for making me part of #bloggarba

7. There is a huge ocean of blogging to be explored.

8. Many blogger friends inspired me to  keep writing in Hindi.

Special thanks to Anagha (@ mocktailmommies ) ,  Dipika (@gleefulblogger) and Mansi(@anoshoflife)

9. Fictionwriting  has  slowly  become my love .

Thanks to Mayuri , Tina, Shwetabh, Gaurav  for inspiring  me to write fiction more and more.

10. Many  blogs have encouraged me to start practicing Gratitude in my daily  life . I will soon be starting to write  posts  on it.  A blogger from my city Upasna(@lifebioscope) gets this credit.

11.  I got to learn a little about designing at Canva  , Thanks to my blogger friends  Geethica (@thoughtsbygeet),   Deepa(@Kreativemommy )and Dr Amrita (@healthwealthbridge)

12. My vocabulary enhanced . read about it here

13. I felt fresh every time I pressed publish button on my blog.

14. The number of my social media friends  increased .

15. Even when at few times , I felt exhausted , writing  refreshed me.

16. Learnt  a quote  which I just loved . I want to share it here too.

“Humans  are like tea bags. You never know how strong they are until they get into hot water “

It meant you never know how much mental strength and perseverance a person  really has until problems or troubles arise in her/his  life .

Today marks the last day of #Myfriendalexa Season Two.  I have quoted only few names of my blogger friends but I am thankful to all those with whom I could complete this journey. They  not just helped improve my Alexa but also have become part of my blogging  life. Thanks to all the friends and specially to Blogchatter #Myfriendalexa

Three Cheers for #Myfriendalexa!!!!

Hip Hip Hurray !!!

I am taking my Alexa rank to next level with #Myfriendalexa

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...

Why do I write ?

 I have been writing a blog for the last five years and many times people question me why do i write . Well ! I don't have an exact answer . But whenever someone has asked me this question ' Why do you write ?' i have answered in the form of some question only like 'Why do you go shopping ?' or 'Why do you love to  go  on vacation?'  Actually the basic answer is that it feels good . It makes me happy , contented and also a little proud of myself . The feeling when i boasted about being an author is incomparable . May be you don't read me but I keep writing for myself - to reflect on my life experiences and learn from them. Earlier i used to feel depressed when people didn't read me but now it's just between me and my blog . Writing  helps me connect to my creative side and helps increase my vocabulary also. Writing provides an escape when reality becomes too complex. I like to write because it allows me to focus on a subject  and helps me relieve...

Test Yourself with 10 Random questions

It's good to analyze yourself to  know about your positive points as well your limitations So why not take a random  test today ?   Here are some questions which you should try to answer to yourself only and i request you to do it mindfully. 1. How are you feeling today ? Energetic , Stagnant or bored ? 2. Right now , are you thinking about today , yesterday or tomorrow ?  Remember today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday . Yesterday is gone . That was past . Learn from your past but don't let the past disturb you in the present or hinder your growth in the future . 3. In the past few days did you talk something good about yourself ? Daily you talk a lot about others but do you talk about yourself too ? Sometimes we  have a tendency not to boast or talk good about ourselves even when we have accomplished something . The way you talk about yourself makes an impact. Always speak  empowering words about yourself, "Whenever you think of beautiful ...
