3.7 Million in Alexa

    Hello Everybody,

    Can someone please help us reduce further our ranking? Last December we were at 4.5 Million in Alexa then we improved and added more keywords then surprisingly we had our rankings pulled down to 3.7M. We tried replicating what we did but somehow we got stuck with 3.7M until now. Can somebody help us please. It will be very much appreciated. Thanks a lot and more power to all.

    Alexa ranking is not related with the content. It is traffic related.
    Install alexa tool bar and set your site as your homepage, if possible, ask your friend do the same.

    Thanks lifeplayer...We had the toolbar already installed since last December and had our site as the homepage.

    Are there any other methods for reducing our alexa rank and increase traffic? We are grateful for any inputs.

    Thanks :)

    Alexa Rankings are useless as so few people use the Alexa Toolbar. So the results are not representative of general search. And there are a lot of SEO Monkeys who intentionally use the Toolbar to inflate their own sites as if that somehow makes them seem like experts.

    Use Alexa to find competition and don't worry about their screwy rankings. The average web surfer hasn't even heard of Alexa.

    If I am not mistaking you have got the wrong idea about Alexa ranking. the lower the number you have for your website the better it is. so if you went from 4.5M to 3.7 that means that Alexa has ranked you higher based on your incoming traffic. I hope this helps. The lower the number you have the better it is

    Yes thats right SOHOWEB we managed to increase our rank from 4.5M to 3.7M. We are doing our best to have the ranking reduce much much farther...say maybe below 1M or lower. Right now we are stuck at 3.7M and having a difficult time generating traffic to lower the rank.

    The alexa rank will increase by itself
    Don't worry about it, just work over your site and get more visitors.

    if u r install alexa toolbar already then surf your site your self (approximate minimum 200 times a day)

    if u do that then u will be get cool rank within 1 month.

    and u r post about your site at dp. if u get good traffic from dp then your rank increse automaticaly in next changes. becaz max. dp member(webmaster) have alexa toolbar.

    and

    add alexa graph to your sites.

    hope u like suggestion. :D

    As long as you keep receiving traffic, I'm sure your Alexa rank will increase, as the more visitors you receive, the more likely one of them will have the Alexa toolbar installed. You probably shouldn't worry about Alexa anyway.

    I had read from multiple forums that alexa ranks does matter. I can understand that average user does not even know about alexa but most of the webmasters beleive that google is also referring alexa ranking and using it in its own way to decide some percentage in its own ranking. So I would definetely prefer a way to increase alexa ranking. :)

    Alexa rating seems like a running average of previous rating, and number of page views that your site got viewed by people with alexa bar. It's not very accurate. For example, I have 250 visitors today to my site http://www.jihoy.com, yet my rating is at 71,370 for weekly. I had days where I got like 3800 visitors because of some traffic campaign I bought, yet my Alexa rating was at 1.2 million on that day. But it is semi-useful, for more established site, I guess, assuming those visitors aren't webmasters or nerds with Alexa bars installed.
