      My friend Alexa is a great competition. I was so skeptical to opt for it in the first place. A pre-schooler at home, busy schedules made me believe that I won’t be able to keep up with it but I am determined to defy all norms. S thanks a lot for sharing

  2. Roshan Radhakrishnan

    Yes, I totally agree. I have participated in previous years and noted huge changes in my traffic as well as Alexa Rankings in addition to actually finding many new blogs that I still go to even today

    This is my first time taking up this challenge. But seeing veterans like you returning to the challenge every year helps for 2 reason – to know it must work and that its possible to keep the flow.
    Thanks. This being the first post I read for the challenge, only motivates me further.

    Yes exactly, MyFriendAlexa is one of the best challenges. I got to know about this amazing challenge when I was participating at AtoZ Challange this year in April.

    This is my first experience with this challenge.

    You are right, there is an awesome chance to interact with each other apart from liking and commenting.

    True! #MyFriendAlexa is a great challenge by Blogchatter which offers an opportunity for bloggers to connect with each other, learn new things from fellow bloggers & take your stats high.
    This is my first time and I am very excited ?

    1. vidhya thakkar

      YESS so true!!

  6. Shreeya Sharma

    This is my first time participating in Alexa, and truthfully it seems a bit daunting because I rarely can make up time to write blog posts with college and exams and assignments. But I really want to change that and create a concrete schedule for my blog, because I am not giving it its due. And what better way than a fun challenge like #MyFriendAlexa? :)
    Seeing people like you who have been doing this for years gives me the confidence that this might actually work out for me and will help me organise my time better to include blogging.

  25. Abhiijt

    Nice post. My friendalexa is a sure way to improve blog traffic. Best part is one can measure improvement quantitatively. Though a month after the competition, many of us go back to where we came from, but at least we are now equipped with a way to improve traffic.

  26. Anwesha

    I totally agree with your points. This is my first time participating in this campaign and I was skeptical too at first. Actually, I am still worried about getting my articles out on time.

    It is a great challenge. Challenging but equally rewarding! We can meet so many new bloggers, come across great bloggers, and may even get blogger friends for life. Not to mention the fact that we will be writing up quite the storm in our blogs (and reading too!). Our stats page will thank us and we will often be surprised to see how far the Alexa number has fallen down. I can relate to all the points in your post. Those are some of the reasons why I signed up for this. Here’s to BlogChatter for organizing such a interesting and fun challenge. :)

  44. Pooja Mahimkar

    I was also one of the last ones to discover about this and participate. I signed up for similar reasons that you mentioned, and so far it is going really well. :)

  45. Samidha Mathur

    This is the second time I am participating in this campaign. Although I couldn’t complete my first one as some unavoidable circumstances. But this time I really keen and excited to complete it successfully. :)

    This is my third year and by now I have got the habit of this challenge. Every year, I block September in my calendar for this challenge. I love everything about this challenge. It helps me push my limits.

  47. Manisha Garg

    I totally agree to your reasons. My Friend Alexa really helps to build a connect among bloggers, you read some great content and you become regular in your writing.

  48. Kinshoo

    How to participate?

  50. Priyal poddar

    This is my second year of #MyFriendAlexa challenge, just loved to be a part of this challenge, just have to work on the reading part.
    Best wishes.

  51. Narinder Bhatia

    Hi Vidhya, i deliberately chose to read this post because i didn’t want to miss out on anything while participating in the Alexa challenge. As you have also captured in your post, there’s so much more that Alexa challenge brings to us than a global ranking. The challenge is a real treat for bloggers, who are hungry for more, in terms of reading more blogs, connecting with more bloggers, learning new strategies and supporting each other. Great post :)
