I have read a few places that installing an Alexa widget on your site helps improve your Alexa Rank. Has anyone tested this theory in isolation from installing the alexa toolbar. Is there proof that the widget helps?
we already have a running thread on this topic here, http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=464861 according to my stats and data, the widget has no direct result! but if someone clicks on the widget and install the toolbar and then visit your site! then it helps, if you have some dedicated visitors then it may help!
Have you got <10000 rank, then its called a worthy proof, if you moved from 40,00,000 > 12,00,000 then thats nothing worth even talking.
Thanks for the help, I won't bother adding the widget to my site. So am I understanding correctly that if you refer someone to alexa through the widget and the referral installs the toolbar, alexa rewards you by improving your alexa rank? I hope not
