All-in-all, this winter has been a dream come true for a commuter like me! Almost no snow storms, no ice, and no big delays. With all the snow gone, I’m quickly realizing how TERRIBLE my yard looks and how badly I need to start the projects I had originally planned for the Spring. We’ve got flagstone retaining walls to build, slate rocks to cover all the gardens, and a whole lot of weeding along with weed block material to lay down.

Stats:
Here are my stats for the week:
• Alexa Ranking: 203,146 (as of 3/16/12).
• Google PageRank: 1 / 10
• SEOmoz MozRANK: 1.97 / 10
I knew the second I published last week’s prediction that our Alexa ranking would be below 200K I’d regret it! We didn’t quite hit the goal, but it is JUST within reach. I can literally see the finish line!
Thank you to all my new and returning visitors who have helped me achieve these ranks!

Just stopped by and I have to say, Congrats on the Alexa Rank! Impressive.
Thanks for stopping by! I’m really excited. I still have a long ways to go before the advertising gods smile upon me and I start posting unbelievable income figures like you do. Your blogs give me something to look forward to!
Congrats on you amazing Alexa ranking! It’s time to celebrate. 🙂
I owe you a BIG thanks for being a regular reader! Probably half of the visits that knocked down that Alexa ranking came from you! I really appreciate the support!
I am humble to hear that, but you write good content. And, that always works!
I just noticed that too! I am very pleased! Now the goal will be to make sure it stays that low all the time!
Congrats on the alexa milestone. It has already jumped lower on my end. So I’m sure you’ll have no problem getting it below 200k and pushing for the next milestone. With the amount of off-site exposure you got this week, your progress is not surprising. Keep up the great work!
Jeremy thanks for being a regular visitor! I’m not sure what sort of sorcery you used to drop your Alexa rank so quickly, but it was very impressive and motivating! Thanks for the support!
Congrats on the Alexa rank! that is really great, keep up the good work
Thank you! I’m excited for both the improved rank and the fact that I’m getting a lot more visitors than I was three months ago!
congrats on the Alexa ranking! I’m glad to see some positivity about daylight savings. Lots of people have been complaining about it!
Thank you very much! I feel as though now the real work starts by holding onto what I have accomplished.
