How to Increase Alexa Traffic Rank
his post will cover some of the quick ways to increase your Alexa Rank. Also including: What is Alexa Rank and why do you have to keep it high.
What is Alexa Traffic Rank?
Alexa Rank is a traffic measuring and ranking system based on visitors of your blog who have Alexa toolbar installed. This means that every person who is using Alexa toolbar and visits your blog (website), makes you one point higher than before. (In this case lower by numbers)
Homepage of Alexa: Alexa.com
Why do we need to Increase Alexa Rank?
In the context of monetized web, Alexa rank is considered highly by different money making networks. Basically it creates the rate which is considered by some money makers during pricing ads on your blog (website).
ReviewMe and Text-Link-Ads
are one of those money making networks which determine your ad pricing by the Alexa Rank.
Such pricing also applies during selling a site or a link.
Alexa Stats can also indicate the existing concurrency between sites.
How it is calculated?
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). …. Alexa’s definition of Alexa Traffic Rank
How do I get most from Alexa?
One and the most important thing is that you need to have Alexa toolbar installed to get started. The simple and easy way to get Alexa toolbar for Internet Explorer - download it from Alexa Toolbar for Internet Explorer. If you are using FireFox go here and click the button which says Get Sparky>
What are webmasters saying about increasing Alexa Rank.
When most of the webmasters state that increasing Alexa Rank artificially is possible, there are sceptics who say that it is all made through natural Traffic. Note: Natural traffic works best, when providing quality content to your readers. Well, it is really hard to get to top 1000 for Alexa Rankings due to the high competition between the websites. But it is much more easier to get to top 100,000.
Even though there is no 100% guaranteed way to boost your rankings, my practice with my old blogs has shown that there are several proven ways to reach the first 100,000. So let’s get to it right now.
First 2 Ways to Increase your Alexa Traffic Rank
1) Install Alexa toolbar and place your site as a homepage
2) Place a Widget on your blog or website It may count as your visitors have toolbar installed when clicking the widget.
This two ways are proven by the most successful and money making blogs.
I didn’t include other suggested ways, only because they are not proven and not worthy. Although buying ads, links and encouraging friends to get Alexa toolbar does help. (usually they will visit your blog)

I had to remove my Alexa toolbar from my browser because it makes my browser less responsive. I only got to install the widget, and it seemed to be effective. The transition was from 2M to 1M and now it’s over 700k.
it was nice to see how the Alexa rank developed after starting use of Entrecard… btw, thanks for the whole article series about gaining traffic!
is there any reason y u have kept link of “Alexa.com” a follow link?
u wud have also used nofollow tag for that to lesser ur outgoing link but u haven’t.
gaming alexa is still easy.
nowadays i prefer Compete rank, but the only problem is that it updates every month only
@Punnet - Nice one! I understand your question, but you know sometimes it is useful to link to the big websites like Alexa - why not make them glad bu linking to them. Every site is operated by humans and everyone likes good gesture.
@ Hugo Santos - I have checked out the compete rank it is a nice tool. The thing! I’m using Alexa Rank because of their popularity throughout advertisers and websites. You see not everyone knows compete rank that’s the point. Thank you very much for the info anyway you can always use two or three tools at the same time.
Thanks for the heads up, we will be installing Alexa on all our computers at the office to see if it works.
