Alexa Rank is a ranking system which bases its ranking schema on the level of traffic each website receives from the number of people who visit a website with the Alexa toolbar installed.
See Alexa’s definition of the Alexa site:
The traffic rank is based on three months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of Alexa Toolbar users and is a combined measure of page views and users (reach). As a first step, Alexa computes the reach and number of page views for all sites on the Web on a daily basis.
The main Alexa traffic rank is based on the geometric mean of these two quantities averaged over time (so that the rank of a site reflects both the number of users who visit that site as well as the number of pages on the site viewed by those users).
The three-month change is determined by comparing the site’s current rank with its rank from three months ago. For example, on July 1, the three-month change would show the difference between the rank based on traffic during the first quarter of the year and the rank based on traffic during the second quarter.
The important of increasing your Alexa rank
Webmasters, advertisers and ad networks use your blog’s Alexa rank as a gauge to determine the worth of a link on your website. If you depend on link or site selling as a form of monetization you’ll definitely want to increase your Alexa rank, because it’ll increase your bargaining power when it comes to ad pricing.
So, the Alexa rank is very important. Then I’ll try practicing on 20 Quick Ways to Increase Your Alexa Rank.
Below is the list that I have done to increasing Alexa rank :
- Install the Alexa toolbar or Firefox’s SearchStatus extension and set your blog as your homepage.
- Put up an Alexa rank widget on your website. I don’t care about it after I found (July, 31 2007) Take control of your Alexa ranking!.
That’s why I installed an Alexa Site Widget on my blog. I don’t know if it is a coincidence or not but I went from 4,080,035 to 1,364,067 in just a few days. If my theory is correct then every visitor to my blog downloads the Alexa site widget when they visit my blog and that is how Alexa receives data on every visitor.
- Write or Blog about Alexa. It’s what I do now.
- Flaunt your URL in webmaster forums. Set your website URL as your signature.
- Write content that is related to webmasters.
- Use Alexa redirects on your website URL. Try this: http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.bisnis-net.info. Replace bisnis-net.info with the URL for your website.
- Try Alexa autosurfs. Do they work? Maybe for brand new sites. Note that there be problems when you try to use auto surfs alongside contextual ads like Adsense. They aren’t also long term solutions to improving your Alexa Rank so I suggest using with caution.
And the Result
