Now I know the Alexa ranking system is faultless. The Alexa ranking system is the way you get ranked and in the entire scheme of things it really doesn’t mean much. But despite its flaws, a high Alexa ranking can open doors that are otherwise closed to bloggers. Achieving a ranking in the top 100,000 or so can go a long way toward building your credibility. Top bloggers may actually notice you and welcome you into their secret societies, and advertisers will be more likely to place ads on your site.

Anyways back to the Alexa post, In other words a high Alexa rank may help you increase your revenue substantially.

How to Increase Your Alexa Ranking

Obviously, the greatest ways to increase your Alexa rank, Google Page Rank, and web traffic in general is to provide high-quality content that is distinctive and useful to your readers. If you provide valuable content then people will keep coming back for more.

But creating quality content takes time. I’ve only been blogging for a 10 months so it’s difficult for me to compete with bloggers that already have hundreds or even thousands of posts in the can. (Don’t worry…I’ll get there, but it will take a little time to catch up..

So while I plug away like the little engine that could, it’s helpful to look for a few shortcuts to help speed my journey. The tips listed below are simple ways to improve Alexa rankings quickly.

(In just 2 weeks I’ve leapfrogged over 1 million sites and continue to improve daily.)

1. Install the Alexa toolbar and visit your site daily. This is pretty obvious really.

2. Get together with a few friends and form an informal network of bloggers that visits each other’s sites each day.

3. Encourage others to download and install the Alexa toolbar. The more people visiting your site with the toolbar installed the higher your rankings will go.

4. Participate in webmaster forums like WarriorForum, SitePoint, and DigitalPoint. A high percentage of users there will have the Alexa toolbar installed so if they visit your site you’ll get a boost.

5. Write articles that |teach how to improve Alexa ranking. People searching for that topic will likely have the toolbar installed so you’ll get another boost when they visit your site.

7. Pay for it. If you create a page targeting webmasters you can drive traffic to it via PPC and get loads of traffic.
