Hi, I have a relatively new blog now and I am sure most of you know what Technorati and Alex are. I was wondering what tips you all have for me to improve in ranking? I mean, I ping them every time I post and all but I never really went to those sites to have a look and it turns out that they could deliver some promising visitors. So I was just wondering what your views/opinions are?
Technorati is all about blog backlinks. Swap blogrolls with more established sites in your niche and your technorati rank will increase. Only way to improve Alexa is to get people who have the toolbar installed to visit your site. Users of the toolbar are generally non-USA (i.e., India and China), so tailor your posts accordingly.
for alexa place a alexa widget over your site, as many of don't install alexa toolbar, widget will automatically count them
Hello again, Mizaks. Just wondering what do you mean by swap blogrolls? I'm kind of new to Technorati and I just claimed my blog, what do I do now?
To swap blogrolls - Blogrolls are the list of blogs usually put on the sidebar of the blog. browse some friends blogroll and identify who love to enlist blogs. Then see if they have a chatbox, politely ask if they are interested in link exchange. As a sign of goodwill, maybe you can put their blog link first in yours. They will usually reciprocate. - However, do take note that a lengthy blogroll can be mistaken as link farm by google and may affect your PR, but that's another story To improve Alexa ranking - You must install Alexa toolbar. and surf your site using that browser. This will help a bit - Try Entrecard. It's a lot of work but the traffic from entrecard will help. - Encourage your reader to use Alexa toolbar Personally, those two parameter is not that important. Try to create good content and improve your Google Pagerank.
Thanks for that Banji. Thanks for clarifying that everyone. I never knew if I should focus on getting my rank up on those sites. But I don't think I will as you said it's not important.
