7 Proven Strategies for Improving Your Alexa Ranking

By Michael Fleischner | Marketing Expert | Internet Marketing Secrets*

After spending two years building my own website, I was very disappointed that my Alexa ranking was still higher than one million. Alexa ranks each website based on the number of visitors it receives. The top ranked website, Yahoo! has an Alexa rating of 1 or 2. Less popular sites could be ranked up to 5,000,000.

In order to improve my Alexa rating, I spent about three weeks combing the web to find tips, secrets, and proven strategies for increasing my Alexa ranking. Unfortunately, many of the sites offering advice didn’t even have a high ranking themselves. Finally I discovered a number of sites ranked within the top 100,000 that were all applying the same “Alexa techniques” to improve their ranking. I’ve begun implementing a number of these techniques and have improved my Alexa ranking by 250,000 spots in just one week.

Here’s what you need to know. The basis for many of these techniques is the fact that your Alexa ranking is based reach and page views. However it only counts those who visit your site and have already downloaded the Alexa toolbar. Anyone can download the toolbar for free which is automatically added to your browser and tracks the sites you’re visiting. Increasing visits from those who do not have the Alexa toolbar installed will not help your Alexa ranking.

I’ve summarized the 7 strategies that I’ve discovered and applied to my own website to increase my Alexa ranking. Apply these strategies to your own website and see your ranking climb towards the top.

1. Download the Alexa toolbar and use it every day to visit your own website. Alexa even gives you the ability to co-brand the toolbar with your own logo and give it away. You can download the toolbar here: http://pages.alexa.com/prod_serv/associatetoolbar.html

2. Use Alexa redirection whenever you can. No matter when or where you provide a link to your website, be sure to use the equivalent Alexa redirect URL. For example, when providing a link to my website, I use http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?marketingscoop.com. If you copy this URL into your browser, it will take you to MarketingScoop.com. To use this technique, simply replace the name of my website (marketingscoop) with yours.

3. Encourage your website visitors to add their positive testimonials on Alexa’s detailed listings page for your website. This can be done by placing a link to the appropriate Alexa page on your website and asking visitors to “Click here to rate this website”.

4. Write your own site reviews on the top 100 rated Alexa sites and include your redirect URL. The top 500 domains, according to Alexa can be found at http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_500 When you write a review, be sure to use the redirection URL we discussed in number 2 above specifically for your website [http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?marketingscoop.com].

5. Download the Alexa ranking button, traffic history graph, info links, and other traffic counters onto the page of your website that receives the most traffic. For example, at the bottom of my home pagehttp://www.marketingscoop.com, I’ve added the Alexa ranking box. You can do the same for your own site by visiting http://www.alexa.com/site/site_stats/signup You’ll notice that I haven’t added the traffic history graph. This is because it wouldn’t look appropriate on my home page and because Alexa is only providing detailed history on the top 100,000 sites. So if you’re not in the top 100,000, site stats would not be available.

6. Take an inexpensive advertisement out on the ExactSeek search directory for only a few dollars per month at ExactSeek.com Search engine results are directly correlated with Alexa rankings. You’ll notice that if a website is highly ranked on ExactSeek, chances are that it will be highly ranked on Alexa.

7. Get listed on as many search engines as possible by placing a free listing in DMOZ. This is the largest human edited directory on the web and is co-branded among hundreds of thousands of sites. Be patient though, it often takes up to 5 months before you see your website listed after submission. Even though it takes longer than it should, you have little say in the matter because it’s so widely used across the Internet.

These simple Alexa strategies are easy to implement and will make a huge difference in your Alexa ranking. Ultimately you want visitors to do more than visit your home page, you want them to interact with your site. Be sure to optimize your home page for SEO purposes, ease of use, and interaction. Creating a positive user experience will get visitors to return again and again.

Home Security Gadgets and Reviews

I am blogging about home security gadgets. It is a blog about reviews in many kinds of home security gadgets that would help us in many ways to prevent our homes from different type of criminals, burglars and any related to that.

Just recently in our local news, some gang have become famous for burglars. They are not ordinary burglars but they really have stole a couple of items from the victim house. They are organized burglars and all their operations are well planned. They have about 10 successful operations and they have not been caught until now. In this case we need something useful installed at home. One useful gadget is the TeleSpy Telephone which detects any burglar or a friend. Another is the Lorex Security Camera or a Survielance Camera and many other useful and cool gadgets. For more reviews about some of these, please visit

IACMBT?
What's that?

I Am Changing My Blogger Template.

One of the primary reasons why I don't post much or don't post much often on my blog is because, I don't like my template anymore... (hmmm...that's not a reason....that's an alibi lol) Besides of being busy out side the internet ( I mean in the real world) I am also doing some other things aside from blogging...I'll just keep it a secret and if you really want to know why, what makes me busy in the internet... uhmmm then ask me privately... my email address is piojunbabia@yahoo.com. My YM is also online but not too often, don't worry I can receive your message because I check it daily.

Another factor of not posting post in this blog more often is that, I feel discourage when i see that no one is patronizing my post nor my blog. I think I have no readers and I felt like this blog seems to be useless and worthless. Maybe I do not know how to write well and maybe my penmanship is bad. Or maybe I have a bad breath? I don't think so. Or maybe ugly template...lol... I dont know... So that's it....

So another that's it.... that's it because I am changing my template...so some gadgets will be removed...

Now I have removed most of my gadgets... and I failed to install my new template..Gonna look for another one....

Do not worry I have the copies of all the links of my blogrolls and rolled blogs...hehehe..tI have also the copy for the list of my gadgets including the metas, scripts, and htmls...his is also a way to remove xlinks that are inactive....gotta ping me to reinstall the link.

New Blog

I have created a new blog. It is called http://gma7show.blogspot.com. I have created that blog because I watch this tv more often times and it seems that when I watch some programs, I can't stop myself commenting so.... here is a few on the "about" of that blog.

This blog is about the shows in GMA7. I am certified Kapuso and I watch GMA 7 a couple of hours a day. Sometimes when I watch TV, comments regarding the show is inevitable and more often I find it hard to tell or express those comments of suggestion or any other with regards to that so I have created this blog for that purposes.

I am a GMA watcher, though I also watch often times on other network, I spend much more time on watching GMA 7. So this blog is about my comments and everything about the GMA 7 tv shows.
