Falling fast and on the Way Up.
My first privately owned website http://stephend7.ws/ has fallen from Alexa 9,714,391 on Oct.11th to Alexa 5,091,678 today. Wow! Alexa numbers downward from busiest. Google.com is Alexa 1.
This has little to do with Keywords or Search Engine Optimization. My skills in these areas of endeavour sadly need improvement. The rise or fall is likely mostly the result of several small changes in content and related visits.
The content is about Steps to Setup Your First Online Website
As Alexa.com primarily analysises web TRAFFIC, either I have passed millions of nearly dead websites -or- cracked open the door of successful Online Marketing.

Capture an Opt-in, DO NOT Squeeze a Visitor
Squeeze Page Not Optional
Wide spread advice is that you should force your traffic to a Squeeze Page before allowing them to proceed. This is intended to quickly build your email marketing list. This technique may be appropriate for an established business, one that can afford to risk having the visitor Exit the page without Submitting -- their information.
If you are new to Online Marketing and Earning Quick cash is your Top priority be sure to make the Submission optional. The reason here is that many visitors will not Submit their information unless they Trust you and Value your Bait, er.. potential Offer Content, more than their own Privacy risk.
How many Squeeze Pages have you closed to Exit without Submitting your Opt-in information?
( Often this starts a series of Exit pop-up page offers ) ;-( More on Exit pages later. ;-)
If you have a Visitor on the way to being a paying Customer, do not needlessly risk losing the sale.
It is better to Capture a happy Lead through an Opt-in rather than try to Squeeze a reluctant visitor and have them flee -- possibly NEVER to establish Trust and belief in your Value to them.
Catch you later ;-)

Start Website of Own
Start Business with a Website of Your Own
Information OVERLOAD, Summer environment, and lack of Focus all add up to a slo-o-w start.
Still editing my first non-provided website which outlines what you need to start an online business. The " http://stephend7.ws " website presents a summary of selected results of extensive research, as opposed to Promoting a single System that worked once. The selection is appropriate for business Newbies on a tight budget and conforms with the prevailing advice that you do NEED a website of your own.

Blogger Online
Online Marketers need a website of their own and unless you have more than a shoestring budget to promote traffic to that website, low cost or maybe free publicity.
I will share my experience as I experiment and develop my website and this Blogger.com blog.
Often very small glitches derail progress, bringing everything to a temporary but complete stop. For example, when setting up this blog I was required to provide a Blog Name. What ...? No contextual help available on the setup page and no reply to my forum post. ;-(
It turns out I was to merely create a new name for this blog ... Shoestring Start. Should it be my Nickname, Brand-name, general interest, main subject, or a niche...?
Oops, time flies.
Back later.
