Thank you for this post. I had reached out to you for My friend Alexa campaign this year and I am so glad to see this post that helped me decide to sign up.
That’s great, dear. Let us rock.
Thanks for clarifying some of my doubts regarding My Friend Alexa. I have registered but did not know much about the format.
Here is my 6th #barathon post

You are most welcome!
Thanks for inputs on My Friend Alexa. Last year I have witnessed the action from sidelines and was contemplating in plunging into action this year. Though I have registered for it and do look forward to it. Wish I could complete it.
Sure you will, Anagha! All The very best!
Hi Vasantha, thanks for the info about Alexa. My doubt is: Is this challenge open only to bloggers with their own site? I mean, my site is balconysunrise.wordpress.com, so is it open to me?
Also what are Google Analytics and how to use them?
Yes, you can, Meena!
I totally skipped Pinterest point. Thanks for writing this detailed post. I will try to share every blog post on Pinterest as well. I really want to list by blog there. #MyFriendAlexa #vibhuandme
Best wishes!
