Well after almost a year of LM-BLOG (7 months of real posting) we have finally got ourselves to the place we wanted to get.
The top 100,000 sites in the world (according to Alexa). Roughly three days ago it became official that we were in. We had been averaging about 50,000-80,000 for about a week at that point which is what we think most likely sped our path up to the magic number.
The top 100,000 is important to us as it is the point where Alexa will give a much more detailed account of your site, something which we are hoping to benifit from and improve the site through.
Anyway as our first in house Alexa target is met we must set a new one. Our new target is to reach between 80,000-89,999 before the 15th of August. As we get into the top 100,000 it is much harder to climb so this will be an interesting task for us to do 
Current rank 4 days after the post above is 94,677
A 3,000 *roughly* position jump.
