I have heard that if you set your website as your home page, and have your friends do the same this can help with seo. I guess the theory is that your website is getting traffic everytime you go on the internet. What does everyone think about that? Thanks
Nope. It's not. If you ask your friends to install Alexa toolbar, it will make your Alexa rank higher though. It's kindda manipulation, but hey you could fool newbies by showing your high Alexa rank.
SEO will surely not benefit from this, but also no harm is done. So as long as you care for 'fake' and useless site visits - go ahead.
