Hi.. everyone! i need your help... I know Alexa is totally different on search engines. therefore, how do you improve your alexa ranking? and its still helpful in ranking of our website? thanks in advance.
You need to install the Alexa toolbar on your computer and log in from different IPs daily. I mean visit your site. After one month, you will have a decent Alexa ranking Sorry to tell you this, but this also proves why Alexa is so USELESS.
By having more visitors you will increase the ranking statistic. Even most people said that Alexa is useless but as for me, advertisers are still considering the Alexa ranking when it comes for a decision to buy the ads space
That is because there is no other comparable tool, except maybe Compete. But Compete will only measure sites with HIGH traffic, not your average site. As for Alexa, a site having only 1000 UVs can have a MUCH better ranking than one with 5000 UVs...if the webmaster "works" on his Alexa. So, it definitely ain't much use to me for measuring visitor counts, unless its very low....lets say less than 30,000
i dont think alexa is useless, but it sure has many limitations. It's probably more or less useless for small sites with low traffic, but for bigger sites, it does give a rough idea of how popular it is.
There are many methods to increase your alexa rating... the one I have found to be the most reliable and quickest is the link in my sig. (Not a referral link)
thanks everyone for your respond... by the way is there more other tactics we can use for the improvements of our alexa ranking.
yep i agree wit that...it can be manipulated but sadly it is still taken into consideration when buying ad space which is de closest u can get to evaluate de site.
More visits by users who have Alexa toolbar installed will certainly improve your Alexa ranking but IMHO, link building will be the better way to increase your rank. By getting linked by multiple sites, you ensure that you have visitors for long time, regardless of whether those visitors have Alexa toolbar or not.
Alexa rank is not at all helpful for ranking your website on the search engines. It is a figure which you can manipulate by installing the Alexa toolbar, so like many people have already mentioned, its not of great use.
Aw Stats and Sitemeter. Maybe Google analytics too. The number of UVs is the most important thing, not some silly ranking number.
why would you bother to increase your alexa ranking? it is the ranking based on how many people have alexa toolbar installed and not even a close estimate of your traffic. instead of focusing on how to improve your alexa rank, i suggest you focus on how to increase your traffic and your alexa rank will go up
Here is a tip for you which was working ok 4-5 years ago.. I am not sure if Alexa did any update in its system... Alexa goes with hits/not visitors... If you show one of your image(from your URL - http://yourdomain.com/img.jpg), on another site which can be a banner exchange site, toplist, auto traffic sites, etc etc, Your alexa ranking will skyrocket...... Again..It worked for me 4-5 years ago...I am not sure if you can still use it......... The only way you can use Alexa ranking to cheat silly advertisers.. I tried it a couple weeks for testing not for cheating,,, Also use alexa toolbar ........ Thanks
