Improve Your Alexa Web Site Ranking With 10 Free And Easy Methods

Copyright © by John Baril

Amazon.com owns Alexa, which has a toolbar that you can download for free and run on your browser. After you install this toolbar, you will get the Alexa web site traffic ranking of every website that you visit. The most visited of these sites will have an Alexa web site rank of “1”.

Alexa’s more technical definition of the toolbar and the traffic rank is as follows:

"The traffic rank is based on three months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of Alexa Toolbar users and data obtained from other, diverse traffic data sources, and is a combined measure of page views and users’ (reach). As a first step, Alexa computes the reach and number of page views for all sites on the Web on a daily basis. The main Alexa traffic rank is based on a value derived from these two quantities averaged over time (so that the rank of a site reflects both the number of users who visit that site as well as the number of pages on the site viewed by those users)."

Alexa changed its method of compiling data in April 2008. It now aggregates data from multiple sources and this creates a better picture of popularity throughout the whole spectrum of Internet users.

The actual accuracy of this method to reveal the real surfing patterns of all Internet users is subject to debate. Keep in mind, however, that as of late 2005, the toolbar had over 10 million downloads to personal computers. For this reason, Alexa is really one of the best guesses for website ranking, particularly for sites in the top 100,000.

For this reason, Alexa has become an important way to measure the status and popularity of any website. Advertisers who are seeking sites to advertise on will typically check the Alexa web site rank first. Websites that attain a higher Alexa rank tend be favored when compared to sites with a lower rank, so it is in the best interest of webmasters to get as high a rank as possible.

The following are 10 very easy ways to increase your Alexa web site rank without spending any money!

1. Download the Alexa tool bar, then set your website as your homepage.


2.  Find the Alexa widget, then copy and paste it to your website. You can find the widget code here: http://www.alexa.com/site/site_stats/signup
This widget code will show your visitors your Alexa rank and it update Alexa regularly concerning the unique visitors who come to your site.

3.  Build a customized version of your toolbar. Next, create a link on your site that points to the toolbar download page and encourage your visitors to download it. When your visitors download the toolbar, you will earn Amazon commissions every time that person uses the toolbar link to shop on Amazon.

4.  If you use the Wordpress blog platform, you can use a plug-in for Alexa ranking (wp-Alexa-redirect-0.3plug-in).

5.  Submit your site to as many free web directories as you can. Many of the webmasters who check out these directories have the Alexa toolbar installed. This means that if they click on your link, your Alexa web site rank will increase.

6.  Actively participate on forums that are in the Internet marketing and SEO niche. Many of the people who participate in these forums are webmasters who use the Alexa toolbar while surfing. When any of these webmasters click through to your site via your signature file, your Alexa rank will improve.

7.  Many sites from Australia and Asia are in the Alexa top 100,000. Many of these website owners will have the Alexa toolbar installed. Consider joining and participating in the top social networking sites in these regions, in particular:

* http://www.orkut.com - In India, Orkut is the second most popular site overall. As well, Orkut is owned by Google.

* http://hi5.com - at the time of this article writing, hi5 had an Alexa ranking of 17.

8.  Write and distribute a few articles about the benefits of increasing your Alexa ranking. Article marketing will always bring visitors to your website and these visitors might download the toolbar via your link, or they might have the toolbar already. In either case, your Alexa web site rank will improve. Consider creating an entire category of articles on this theme and have them available on your website.

9.  Create a simple landing page on your website with a list of free, useful tools that can be downloaded. This will attract more visitors to your site. Of course, you will want to include the Alexa toolbar download link on this page.

10.  Use social bookmarking and news sites, in particular Stumbleupon, to increase your exposure whenever you place a new article on your blog or website. You can organize or join a group of website owners and stumble each other’s posts and articles. This method will give you much better results.

By applying these 10 free and simple methods, your Alexa web site rank will improve and you will definitely see a rise in your traffic.


I wish you the best of success,
