I'm #100 - But I Try Harder! Posted 3 months ago

Today I received my new Buzz Rankings and I'm #100 in the Mom Community. Yesterday I was in the 80's. It seems like every day I get my rankings which can wildly fluctuate.

When I took a break last month, I expected my ratings to plummet. Much to my surprise they did not; I only dropped about 40 points. I did not bottom out!

And then the totally unexpected happened: my rankings went back up, close to when I left, before I could make another post! When I did come back from my vacation, It took a bit for my rankings to improve.

I am beginning to think the Cre8Buzz rankings are some sort of psych experiment to see how bloggers respond to daily rankings. Do they become more active when their rankings start to drop? Are blog posts and communications more positive when a blogger is at the top of their game?

While I am not a fan of rankings, as I am not a competitive blogger, the constant barrage of changing ranks does sometimes motivate me. While I don't have any aspirations to be #1, I certainly don't want to be at the bottom of the heap.

Today I'm #100 and who the hell am I kidding? I'm not trying any harder!

I keep asking myself why I care *L* I almost washed my hands of the buzz yesterday. Then I remember why I came here in the first place and I feel better, but when I look up and see myself drop too the bottom of the heap and it's stuck up there on my page like a bad billboard, a part of me cringes. As if we're were in middle school again and we were ranked on our popularity only we all had to wear our rank posted on our shirts all day or something *L*

lol the rankings confuse me as well. For a while i was number 1 entrepreneur but lately i can't even get to top ten in the category. I think it might be an experiment hopefully it won't go bad or turn out like the show Lost.
