Alexa Traffic Rank of a site or blog is important for every webmaster. While Alexa traffic rank is determent or calculated by the number of visitors to your site who are using Alexa toolbar (ie; not all your site’s real traffic), still it is a major factor to rate a site’s
value (visitors).
The number of visitors to your site is important for you as a webmaster, but if you got the traffic you want, but not from people using Alexa Toolbar, you will still not get a good rank on Alexa.
Why Is Alexa Traffic Rank Important?
For anyone to evaluate your site they will check your Alexa Rank (that is your site’s
traffic), along with your Google PageRank (that is the value of your site’s content). So you need to improve it!
Improving your Alexa Traffic Rank is important specially if you are selling advertisement on your site (banners, text ads, etc..), or posting sponsored reviews on your blog. A good
Alexa Rank will improve a link value at your site….That is the better your Alexa Rank, the more money you can make from your site.
Tips To Improve Your Alexa Traffic Rank:
- Install Alexa Toolbar in your internet browser and set your site as the default URL
Go to Alexa Website and download Alexa toolbar now, and make your site as the default URL. This way whenever you open your browser Alexa will get informed and will count that as a visitor.
- Put Your Alexa Widget on your Site
Alexa offers you different widgets for your site. Chose the one that fits you and put at
your site right now! This will help a lot in your rank.
- Ask your family and friends to download and install Alexa Toolbar, and to set your blog as their default homepage
Why not?! and even more if you can you may downloaded Alexa Toolbar in all the computers at your work place, and set your blog as their default homepage there too.
- Blog about Alexa Traffic Rank and encourage your blog readers to download and install it
Write about the important of the toolbar for their Alexa Traffic Rank.
- Join Webmasters Forums
Webmaster forums members are always webmasters! So probably they have Alexa Toolbar installed, and if not why not mentioning the important of it in your conversation there?! When they visit your site it counts by Alexa.
- Submit and bookmark your posts in social media websites
Sites like:
Propeller
StumbleUpon
Digg
Reddit
Sphinn
Here is A List Of Top Social Book Mark Sites
Most of the users of those social media websites are bloggers and webmaster. Same goes as the previous point!
- Get friends to review and rate your Alexa website profile
Not entirely sure of its impact on rankings but it might help in some way.
- Post in Asian social networking websites or forums
Some webmasters have suggested that East Asian web users are big Alexa toolbar fans, judging by the presence of several Asia-based websites in the Alexa Top 500. This may be another option if you have time.
- Create an Alexa category on your blog and use it to include any articles or news about Alexa
This acts as an easily accessible resource for webmasters or casual search visitors while helping you rank in the search engines.
- Buy banners and links for traffic from webmaster forums and websites
A prominent and well displayed ad will drive lots of webmaster traffic to your website, which can significantly boost your rank.
- Try Alexa auto-surfs
This may only be suitable for brand new sites. I think they are mostly suitable for new websites with a very poor Alexa rank. Also note not to have Google Adsnese when you are using them. They aren't also long term solutions to improving your Alexa Rank so I suggest using with caution.
