How does one get theri site ranked by Alexa? Is that done automatically by Alexa? I have created a new site http://nopolicestate.net and I am looking to have it ranked by Alexa.
They rank you automatically. You can also submit to them. The ranking depends upon the traffic and its consistency.
you can manually submit to them in a section they have called webmaster tools, however they say it takes up to 9 weeks for the site to be reviewed.
How to get Alexa rank: * install Firefox * install Search Status Firefox extension * in the Firefox preferences, set the browser's home page as "show my windows and tabs from last time". * visit your Web page in a tab * then do all of your browsing in other tabs and forget about the tab with your Web page. It will always stay open and will always load whenever you start your browser. * get a few friends to do the same Your Alexa Rank will go up quickly.
