Alexa ranking has always been the webmaster's cup of tea, as it was widely used by the web savvys only. In recent times a normal web browser is also aware of the alexa ranking and started checking that for every site they visit. What exactly is the alexa ranking?? Is it that important to be maintained by a website?? are some good questions.
Keeping aside the facts and factors regarding the Alexa ranking, lets look at few methods which are useful to rank better in Alexa.
- Install the Alexa toolbar or Firefox’s SearchStatus extension and set your blog as your homepage. This is the most basic step.
- Put up an Alexa rank widget on your website. I did this a few days ago and receive a fair amount of clicks every day. According to some, each click counts as a visit even if the toolbar is not used by the visitor.
- Encourage others to use the Alexa toolbar.
- Work in an Office or own a company? Get the Alexa toolbar or SS Firefox extension installed on all computers and set your website as the homepage for all browsers. Perhaps it will be useful to note that this may work only when dynamic or different IPs are used.
- Get friends to review and rate your Alexa website profile.
- Write or Blog about Alexa. Webmaster and bloggers love to hear about ways to increase their Alexa rank.
- Use PayperClick Campaigns. Buying advertisements on search engines such as Google or Exact Seek will help bring in Traffic.
