After Google Page Rank the number which is given high importance by webmasters is Alexa Rank.Believe me many of them judge your blog/website by just seeing your Alexa Rank.Even advertisers check your Alexa Rank to advertise on your blog.
Well honestly speaking Alexa rank is just rubbish and has nothing to do with your blog traffic.So what is this Alexa Ranking and how to get better Alexa Ranking read on.......
What is Alexa Rank?
Alexa.com defines themself as a "web information company".They rank every website and blog based on their traffic and some other factors.This Alexa Rank gets updated daily.Lesser the number better.

How Alexa Rank is measured?
You might freak out after reading "How Alexa Ranking is measured?"
Alexa.com is measuring your website’s traffic is one of the most unfair surveys around. Why?
They only record those hits which passes through their systems.That means your visitors either have to Install Alexa Toolbar on their browser or you should put an Alexa widget/plugin installed on your blog.
That means the blogs under the niche Blogging,Technology will have a better Alexa Rank compared with the blogs which are not related to Tech Stuff.
10 Tips to Increase Alexa Ranking:
1.Install Alexa Tool Bar:
Install Alexa Toolbar on your browser and also ask your friends, visitors to install toolbar on their browser.
2.Claim your site:
To gain full control over your site.Claim your site on Alexa.com.This will help others to know who owns the site and helps you in ranking better on Alexa.
3.Put Alexa Widget on your blog:
As I already said Alexa counts only those hits which comes under their system.So put an Alexa widget on your blog.
- I recently wrote an article on How to Create and Install Alexa Widget do check it out.
4.Get Traffic From Bloggers and Techy guys:
This is the most important factor that effects your Alexa Rank.If you get more visitors who are bloggers and techy guys then your alexa rank will increase fast because all the Bloggers and Techy people will be installing alexa widget on their browsers.

5.Write a review about Alexa on your blog:
Write a review about Alexa Ranking and link back to Alexa.com.
6.Ask your visitors to review your blog on Alexa:
Review your blog on Alexa.com and ask your visitors to review your blog.
7.Commenting and Backlinking:
Comment on other blogs which are under the niche Blogging and Technology with good traffic and link back to your blog.In this way build more links from blogs with good traffic because backlinks are crucial as you might have noticed that alexa even calculates the number of backlinks you have.
- Also Read:What are Dofollow and Nofollow Comments.
8.Update your blog regularly:
It is strongly recommended to write frequently to increase your alexa rank or else your alexa rank will go down and it becomes hard to bring back your alexa again.
9.Write quality posts:
As I always say quality matters.If you write quality posts then others will automatically link back to you and thereby increasing backlinks and traffic as well which increases your alexa rank.
10.Share your posts on Social Networking sites:
Share your posts on social networks like Facebook,Stumble upon and Digg.These sites not only brings massive traffic but also helps in increasing your Alexa Rank.
Last Words:
Secret of Increasing Alexa Rank:The secret behind increasing Alexa Rank is to "get traffic from bloggers".If you get more traffic from bloggers then your Alexa Rank will boost like anything.
Tough the way which Alexa.com calculates ranking of website is unfair,you have to focus on Improving Alexa Ranking of your blog as it one of the most important factor to make good profit from your blog.
Recommendations:The above mentioned points definitely work but takes some time.If you dont want to go through all the laborious process then check out Your Alexa Ranking,they offer very good service which boosts your alexa rank in no time.Regardless of the site language or niche they boost alexa rank of any website.For more info check here.

Why that's not a fair way of computing ranking but good tips to increase ranking.
ReplyDeleteIts unfair because instead of considering the actual hits they only consider those hits which come under their system.
DeleteSo a blog/website with good traffic can have low Alexa and a blog with low traffic may have good Alexa Rank.
So I feel this is some what unfair ways of judging the ranking of blog.
thanks for sharing this.. I'm just too lazy to place Alexa, in spite of cute name.. but now will allocate time to do this..
ReplyDeletehttp://legazpifabmoda.blogspot.com

ReplyDeletei have learned alexa way back then but i'm not really very serious about it, i guess i just don't have the time to concentrate on making it lower.
ReplyDeleteWell some of them dont bother about Alexa
DeleteThat is also a good thing :)

I used all these 10 tips into account for my website http://www.myindustry.ir for about 1 year, but it was not useful as mentioned here.
ReplyDeleteFirstly I should say that your website has good page rank and good Alexa Rank as well.
ReplyDeleteTo increase your Alexa Rank Install Alexa Widget on your blog :)

Another great article about Alexa rank. But I surely will not add an Alexa toolbar on my site just to boost my site. Actually, I don’t really care about Alexa rank, I prefer writing a quality content for my site :)
ReplyDeleteYes I agree the fact that Alexa Widget increases the load time of blog.Ideal thing is to use it only if you have a low Alexa Rank.
ReplyDeleteComing to quality as I always say "Quality is the King".
Thanks for nice post...
ReplyDeleteThese tips really work. I have tried them in the past and i think that one of the strategies that continue to keep my site on the top of all the search engines.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.bloggersblogspot.org
My blog is suffring from very poor alexa and google pr.
ReplyDeletewhat is better for me.
I have been following several tips on how to improve alexa rank and its been working for me but the only thing that never improves is the backlinks. Alexa is very slow in updating backlinks. Do you have any suggestions for it.
ReplyDeleteYa it takes some time for alexa or google to identify your backlinks thats natural.The only thing we can do is just be patient.After few days your backlinks will be shown naturally.
ReplyDeleteI want ask fo number 8, how post per day or per month? I cannot update regularly per day on my blog. Can you give the advice? Thanks
ReplyDeleteIt depends on you how frequently you post.Generally if your blog is old and has good number of posts then 1 post per day would work good.But if your blog is new then you have to post atleast two posts per day.
ReplyDeletePlan how frequently you post it may be one per day or 5 per week.Follow your schedule properly.
I installed the widget but had a similar concern regarding the backlinks. When I read the pricing plans on the Alexa site I noticed that one of the features is "...adding links back to your site...". I think that means you can add backlinks manually by entering a URL to a site that links to yours? My Google Webmaster account shows that I have 1500+ backlinks but Alexa only shows 77. :P
ReplyDeleteHmm no tool will show you the exact number of backlinks you have.It takes some time for Alexa to show exisiting backlinks just be patient and continue your link building :)
ReplyDeleteVery much thanks my friend... I was just looking for this and I found your site from google...

ReplyDeleteHello Imran, Thank you for sharing your tips on how to increase alexa ranking. Actually this is my main problem to my site, http://www.blinkreaction.com . I want to increase its alexa ranking but still it decreases. I have read your tips here and I found it good to apply, but I have some questions and I hope that you will help me. Are all of these tips applicable to any blog and article that will possibly link back to my site? Also, how could I able to claim my site in alexa as you have suggested in your number two tips? I will wait for an answer from you. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteMaintaining a blog can be hard sometimes especially if you're not good at writing and work on your own without a solid team. Posting videos on YouTube can also help increase Alexa rank significantly if done correctly. These tips make it look easy.
ReplyDeleteIs personal web build with word press include in "blog" categories? is alexa only for blog or can also for personal/company website? my web : www.furnesse.co.id
ReplyDeleteAlexa rank basically depends on only one major factor i.e it depends on the traffic from people who have installed alexa toolbar in their browser.
ReplyDeleteSo if you want to increase alexa rank of your website then i recommend you to follow the above steps and try to get more traffic from bloggers/webmasters.
Nice to know that it has become easy for you to increase alexa rank after google penguin update.
ReplyDeleteYa Alexa is really very important for building a profitable blog or website :)
ReplyDeleteYa more traffic=Better Rank
ReplyDeleteSo increasing traffic will definitely increase your alexa :)
Ya not simply traffic but targeted traffic ,i.e traffic from people who have installed alexa toolbar in their browser .

ReplyDeletePlease you guys should help me review my site http://www.hotnaijamusic.com/
ReplyDeleteVery helfull information provided brother .. thanks alot .. also check Get Unique Traffic Visitors to your website Daily
ReplyDeleteHi there, all these tips are very useful. I have a question on how alexa ranking affects google, apparently i have read that good alexa ranking affects overall google ranking. Just to share my own experience regarding this. A month ago i read on a blog that installing alexa toolbar and visiting your site a few times a day would improve the ranking. I tried it on my website www.phoneaccessorize.co.uk and i started to notice considerable changes in my ranking. Infact in 30 days period it improved from 15,690,344 to 1,776,661 which seems remarkable. I did nothing apart from visiting the website daily.
ReplyDeleteI want to ask how good is that alexa ranking towards google ranking? Are they related by any means or not ? Please share if anyone knows about it.
Thanks
Great article. I noticed that over the last month my visitor count increased by 158% and my Alexa rating dropped by 50%? How can this be? I will focus on my Alexa rank but only after Google, Bing, Yahoo and of course my visitors.
ReplyDeleteI do like your page!
Cool idea on writing to webmasters. Never thought of that one. We
ReplyDeleteusually just write for the end customer and not the website webmaster.
Good one.
nice post... visit and checkout mine : http://www.rockpaki.com/
ReplyDeleteAlexa rank and google rank are two separate algorithms .
ReplyDeleteThey are not at all related.Focus on building your traffic both will increase automatically.
Alexa rank is given for every website and blog on internet.
ReplyDeleteGenerally increase in visitors leads to increase in alexa rank .But if that is not the case then your site may be in a different niche.Niche of your site is the primary thing when talking about alexa.Mostly blogs and website with niche Technology,Blogging will have a good alexa rank.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this wonderful article!
ReplyDeleteI have started implementing what you said at www.eastafricaherald.com
i decreased my Alexa rank from 7000000 to 2500000 in one week just by commenting and guest posting and it is decreasing on daily basis check out my website

ReplyDeleteShare your articles on Facebook it helps to some extent.
Thanks for the amazing tips. Will definitely follow some of them when I build my own site. I'm just worried because one of my favorite tech blogs recently posted an article on the mismatch between Alexa Rank and actual site traffic. http://www.techpinas.com/2012/10/alexa-rank-and-traffic-mismatch-high.html I can only hope it won't happen to me. Is it true that you have to get your site certified for its rank to fully reflect your traffic? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes thats true alexa rank is not always based on the amount of traffic you get.I also explained the same thing in the article.
