Hello All, Please help me about the alexa ranking. I want to know "how to improve alexa ranking?" I have ready some good article on the alexa ranking but not able to find out the right answer as with experience. Suggest me right way to improve.
I got these strategies from the net: 1. Download the Alexa toolbar and use it every day to visit your own website. Alexa even gives you the ability to co-brand the toolbar with your own logo and give it away. You can download the toolbar here: http://pages.alexa.com/prod_serv/associatetoolbar.html 2. Use Alexa redirection whenever you can. No matter when or where you provide a link to your website, be sure to use the equivalent Alexa redirect URL. For example, when providing a link to my website, I use http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?marketingscoop.com. If you copy this URL into your browser, it will take you to MarketingScoop.com. To use this technique, simply replace the name of my website (marketingscoop) with yours. 3. Encourage your website visitors to add their positive testimonials on Alexa’s detailed listings page for your website. This can be done by placing a link to the appropriate Alexa page on your website and asking visitors to “Click here to rate this websiteâ€. 4. Write your own site reviews on the top 100 rated Alexa sites and include your redirect URL. The top 500 domains, according to Alexa can be found at http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_500 When you write a review, be sure to use the redirection URL we discussed in number 2 above specifically for your website [http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?marketingscoop.com]. 5. Download the Alexa ranking button, traffic history graph, info links, and other traffic counters onto the page of your website that receives the most traffic. For example, at the bottom of my home page http://www.marketingscoop.com, I’ve added the Alexa ranking box. You can do the same for your own site by visiting http://www.alexa.com/site/site_stats/signup You’ll notice that I haven’t added the traffic history graph. This is because it wouldn’t look appropriate on my home page and because Alexa is only providing detailed history on the top 100,000 sites. So if you’re not in the top 100,000, site stats would not be available. 6. Take an inexpensive advertisement out on the ExactSeek search directory for only a few dollars per month at ExactSeek.com Search engine results are directly correlated with Alexa rankings. You’ll notice that if a website is highly ranked on ExactSeek, chances are that it will be highly ranked on Alexa. 7. Get listed on as many search engines as possible by placing a free listing in DMOZ. This is the largest human edited directory on the web and is co-branded among hundreds of thousands of sites. Be patient though, it often takes up to 5 months before you see your website listed after submission. Even though it takes longer than it should, you have little say in the matter because it’s so widely used across the Internet.
Bretti, great information, maybe you could consider making a seperate thread and it might get stickied
Something wrong with Alexa last days. I don't see updates. Bretti - all strategies are fine except 3 and 4. I don't think testimonials are possible, or I am wrong.... Where can I find link to "Click here to rate this website" ?
Many webmasters do not even bother with Alexa. It is not accurate and not a legitimate measure of a site's popularity, backlinks, anything. I would focus my attention on something else.
Bretti, Thank you for sharing such good information about the alexa ranking. I will follow these steps.
Sorry to again write - had any one try this Meta tags for Alexa ranking? <meta name="alexa" content="100"> I found this tag when i was search to improve alexa ranking.
I think auto surfing / or redirecting (<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=pagename.html"> ) between pages would be good for Alexa.
Great information , but let me know one thing what dose alexa ranking mean to you ...? it will help you to drive some traffic on your site or its just like that , or it is a just goal for some webmaster ?
