Improve my Alexa Rank

Do you want to improve your Alexa ranking? Do you want to know a proven way to up your Alexa rank? Then read these tips and start improving your Alexa ranking.

Yesterday I’ve accomplished my one month goal of reaching Alexa rank below one million in only just 13 days. I know this was just a small feat but I’m excited because I’m just a three week old blogger and I know nothing about Alexa ranking and all when I started this. The first time I’ve checked my Alexa rank it was at 17 million so I decided to improve it to 1 million in 1 month and yesterday, just 13 days later I’ve reached that goal.

Being a new blogger I thought I need my blog presence known on the internet and one thing I’ve learned is if your Google page rank is good together with your Alexa rank then you’ll get some authority on the internet not to mention more visitors. Because Google page rank only updates every 3 months I decided to focus first on Alexa. I began by searching the internet and reading some blogs about improving your Alexa ranking. I picked those tips that in my opinion will improve my ranking and I followed them.

The tip that contributed most (I think) to improving my Alexa rank was by blogging about Alexa and adding a Alexa category in my blog. I’m getting about 40 page views a day on my Alexa article and it’s the one with the most comments in my blog meaning people are searching and interested in this kind of article.

Another tip that contributed a lot in my blogs fast rise on Alexa rank was by commenting on other blogs with high traffic. These blogs are visited also by other high traffic blog owners themselves and they usually visits other people blogs who leave comments. Not only that, these blogs are DoFollow blogs so you are leaving your backlinks there open for search engines.

Third tip that helps my Alexa ranking is by installing the Alexa toolbar in your browser and Alexa widget in your blog. Because you always visit and edit your blog, your visit will count towards your ranking. The widget will help in someway if somebody clicks on it (that’s what they say).

Second to the last tip that I proved pushed my Alexa rank was by using social bookmarking sites like Reddit, Digg, Delicious, StumbleUpon and even Yahoo Buzz. Don’t forget social networking sites too like Facebook and Twitter as you can get traffic from these sites too.

Last but not the least proven tip is by joining social blog networking sites like BlogCatalog and BlogEngage where you can promote your site with other bloggers. Many of my referral traffic comes from these sites.

There are a few more minor tips to improve your Alexa ranking but these five are proven to be the best tips, at least by my 3 week old blog. Do you agree with these tips? Do you have some proven tips for improving Alexa ranking? Share your thoughts below.

  1. I find it quiet funny that many people still think that Alexa rankings affect your page rank after all Alexa rankings can be manipulated and so can not see the likes of Google being so easily fooled.

    Great post however.

  3. Wow, nice tips there! I always thought that Alexa just measures your traffic and then gives you a rank number according to that. Didn’t know that you could influence it with those tips. Thanks for the info.

    All great suggestions. Another method of improving Alexa rank is to write about the topics that people are searching Alexa for. If you have the Alexa toolbar installed then you will see current trends (similar to Google trends) if any of these fit your niche, write about them asap so that you can attract Alexa toolbar users to your site.
