The main question is how can I get more sales and it has been asked 12 times so far with slightly different wording each time. It has been answered a lot too in the regular forum under “Tips for Sellers” so start there to read the answers that have already been given.

[tenthtiermedia]

They’re not gonna listen. It’s really a sad situation.

Why not choose a niche that is what you are best at doing rather than one that you think is lucrative? Usually if you are great at doing something it is also profitable.

Does anyone know what’s happening to Fiverr ? It seems that in the last months the Alexa rank is continuously dropping… Fiverr is about to step out of the first 500 most visited websites…

Any type of online work will not give the security of a paid full time job. I have been on the internet since it was born and I can tell you with certainty that if you need to have a steady income you know will always be there, the internet is not the way to do it. Never quit and decide to do any online work full time without some type of financial security elsewhere, especially if you doubt your own ability in this area.

[misscrystal]

I don’t pay attention to that at all. Maybe Alexa is wrong. I’m not sure how they figure out the rankings but there are too many variables to that to say if it’s even accurate.

This is an easy response and if you just type the words Fiverr Academy it’s a hyperlink. If people aren’t going to take more than a second of effort on their own business, at least those can be answered in a second too.

I suppose all these people think that this Gary fellow is going to spend the entire time talking to each one of these people about their personal problems instead of addressing the wider seller community.

@emmaki I think, you’re looking so excited 😃 ?

Alexa just measures traffic, doesn’t it? A quick and dirty Google reveals that Alexa rankings are like a whor’s drawers.

I wouldn’t worry about Alexa ranking. The fact that it takes both the number of visitors AND the number of page views into account when ranking means that a site that becomes more efficient will go down in the rankings. For example, simplifying the payment page to be one-click instead of 2-3 pages could result in a huge drop in pageviews for Fiverr but makes it more efficient and user friendly.

[eoinfinnegan]

You mean there is a place where I can go and learn all about being a seller on Fiverr? This is too good to be true! I must check it out BEFORE I go and post questions everywhere else! Maybe everyone should do this!

[emmaki]

I don’t like it. It’s too good to be true. Besides, I prefer to get free, personalized advice that has been tailored to my situation by community-minded folks.

[babibalubi]

Well, ok this is “a bit off topic”, but here we go, I also have something to say about that “Alexa thing”, the old school audience metrics number one 🙂

For sure Alexa is or can be an indicator about the evolution of a website, and for sure there can be seen a brusque drop in the main graph till July last year.

There happened definitely something - but what - without insights from the company impossible to evaluate that. It could be something like @eoinfinnegan mentioned, or something completely different, cause if you check some direct competitors you see exactely the same drop, so there may be “the completely different reason thing” more probable.

Imo the second graph is aways more interesting, it´s the search traffic, basically from google (including Adwords campaigns). There is not much movement in that numbers, they move from 4,5 % to 6,5 % more or less.

As far as I know, there are people offering this insight knowledge in Gigs. Can´t remember their names atm 🙂
