10 Ways To Improve Your Web Site's Alexa(tm) Ranking

This is not to trick or cheat Alexa from ranking you as high as is not true but actually a free tour for the capabilities and functionalities of Alexa, understanding majority of these features will lead to higher rank on Alexa. Still web site's content, attractiveness, speed, functionality and importance plays a vital role in getting a higher rank on Alexa as these ways are just tips and hints to improve your alexa ranking. A low Alexa rank will mean 2million to 5million rank and a higher improve ranking is about 1 to 100,000. I will be using http://www.nabaza.com/ as an example on all of these ways.

1. Use Alexa redirection whenever your refer to your domain and whenever appropriate.

Ex. Visit nabaza.com at http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?nabaza.com

2. Cobrand Alexa's toolbar with your web site and give it away. Do it here:

http://pages.alexa.com/prod_serv/associatetoolbar.html There are steps there to be followed. Here's my associate toolbar for you to download and test: http://download.alexa.com/?amzn_id=nabazacomnetw-20 It will help you a lot if you signup as an amazon associate for free, this is so you can get your amazon id to place on your alexa toolbar.

3. Work on traffic exchanger and submit your alexa detailed info page of your domain.

Traffic exchangers can be found here: http://www.nabaza.com/traffic.htm

Your Alexa detailed traffic ranks can be found here: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/?url=nabaza.com

4. If you are fond of soliciting people's testimonials about your web site, then do it alexa style, request people to place their positive testimonials on alexa's detailed listing of your web site. http://www.alexa.com/data/details/?url=nabaza.com

5. Get top 10 domains as listed and ranked by Alexa and leave your positive comments and your url on it. Top 10 domains can be found here: http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_500 If you are feeling very active in a day rate 10 web site per day as listed on their top 500 web sites.

6. Place alexa ranking chart, buttons, associate/cobranded toolbar, site stats button, traffic history graph, site info links, free search and site report all in one page of your web sites which receives the highest number of visitors. All of them can be found here:

http://www.alexa.com/site/site_stats/signup

7. After you're done with the associate/cobranded toolbar of alexa, get more people to download and install it on their browsers and let them rate your web site positively.

8. Get listed on other search engines and directories as well, specifically: http://msn.com/?nabaza.com, http://aol.com/?nabaza.com, http://exactseek.com/?nabaza.com, http://lycos.com/?nabaza.com, and http://av.com/?nabaza.com

9. Just a tip: if your web site is highly ranked on exactseek ( http://exactseek.com/?nabaza.com ) chances are you are also highly ranked on alexa ( http://www.alexa.com/data/details/?url=nabaza.com )

10. Encourage interactivity and community spirit on pages of your web site and install forum, classified ads, ffa, guestbook, topsites, etc. Remotely hosted will only do you a little, but be sure you have your own domain name and install these scripts that encourages interactivity and voting for your web site and place your alexa's graphics on it.
