If I’m going to advertise in a blog, other than page visits and views, I will check their 3 ranks. They are PageRank, Technorati Rank and Alexa Rank. Now in this article I’ll share some tips to improve the Alexa rank of your blog. When I started HB, it’s Alexa rank was around 700k and now it is around 70k (and now it is 10K). Credits go to you people only. Thank You!
Bringing my blog’s Alexa rank below 100k was one of my site goals for 2009.
What’s the use of Alexa Rank?
Webmasters, advertisers and ad networks use your blog’s Alexa rank to determine the worth of a link on your website. Advertisers and other people approach you after seeing your blog’s Alexa rank. Fortunately, I experienced these things. Even BuySellAds (BSA) approves only if you have a good Alexa rank.
Tips for improving your blog’s Alexa rank
#1 – Use Toolbar : Install Alexa Toolbar. Alexa currently has toolbar for IE and Firefox only, hard luck for Chrome and Opera users. Now set your blog as homepage in both the browsers. You can do this in your relatives and friends house or even in browsing centers. You can also download and install HBB Alexa Toolbar.
#2 – Use Widget : Many blog owners found this tip useful. Placing Alexa Rank Widget in your blog helps a lot. But it is worth trying.
#3 – Consistency : Alexa rank automatically improves if you update your blog frequently with good contents. Update your blog daily for a better Alexa rank.
#4 – Write About Alexa : Many bloggers love to learn the tips for improving Alexa rank. They’ll link to you and send you targeted traffic. It is better to keep ‘Alexa’ as a category or a tag.
#5 – Reviews And Ratings : Some bloggers claim this tip has something to do with Alexa rank. Try to increase reviews and ratings for your Alexa website profile. You are most welcome to write one for HB.
#6 – Update Info : Update your listing data and blog’s site info using their Self-service tools. It gives a professional touch to it.
#7 – Claim The Blog : Create an Alexa account or use your existing Facebook account and claim your blog. You can verify by uploading a text file or using a meta tag code.
Though many people don’t believe in Alexa rankings, it is still ruling the blogosphere.

nice article,
but i have a question how installing toolbar can help in increasing my blogs alexa
Actually, the thing is, installing the toolbar alone won’t do the trick Prateek. If people visit your blog with their Alexa toolbar installed browser, then it helps Alexa to gather much more info about your blog, in that way.. automatically helps to improve your rank.
hey pradeep i too agree with you. alexa toolbar is well worked for my site.nice points mate
Hey Pradeep, Thanks for the great tips… I have also written a review of HBB on Alexa.. Check it out
Alexa plays main role for advertisers. So, it’s important to take care of it. my blog goal for this year is too cross 100k ranking.
I agree Regular U[pdate of a Blog with Quality Content Improves Alexa Ranking for the blog

What is the benefit of improving the alexa rank?
Better advertising revenue and/or sale value, not much else.
Great tips to improve the alexa rank of our site as already nowadays Google not update the pr of sites and the people only put their concentration only to upgrade the alexa rank of their site.
Nice sharing…………!
I think more visitors on a website means higher Alexa ranking
Well i think Alexa ranking depends on the amount of traffic a website receives. The more traffic on a website the more chances are of higher rankings
Alexa, quite a big name among bloggers everyone needs higher alexa rank and achieving this is not possible. I will gurantee if anyone is consistent with his work from day one then achieving good alexa rank is not a big job

Great tips. I can’t help but keep coming back here to re-look at the tips. What do you think of my Alexa ranking?
you mentioned about buysellads considers alexa rank
that is not true in my opinion
when i applied for buysellads my blog’s alexa rank was over 1 lac
they asked for a monthly screen shot and approved my site
buysellads approves blogs which have traffic over 100,000 per month nothing else
Thanks for sharing it. I think installing Alexa Toolbar really works a lot.
#4 you did very smart;). The most of the points I already knew, but it is always nice to confirm your knowledga by reading articles.
Cheers
Your tips are too good .My point of view the social ranking is first factor in alexa ranking.
Nice tips. Hope these will work for my rankings. Thanks
I have alexa widget to my blog and this helped me to pulled up my alexa rank.Now I got 6 digit alexa rank within a month from 7 digit alexa rank with regular posting.
Will it work if I use toolbar in my own browsers ?? It is nearly impossible to have every visitor with Alexa toolbar installed .
Yes, you can also install on your browsers. It could be an advantage.
Sir, as u suggest to register or Use widget, but its publicly show all info about website include traffic source and keyword for traffic , Is it risky as compare to competitors ?
Sanjay, I think we don’t really have control over that, public listing sites like these displays all such information. But sites like compete provide an option for disabling that.
I will certainly give it a try and followup if my blog’s alexa rank improves. Good tut there by the way. Thanks for sharing buddy.
Since Alexa ranked me, I went up in Google. So I think Alexa helps….
Good to see someone put this in easily listed way thank you. Yes Alexa seems only count traffic from people with tool bar.. So if you go to your own site a lot then get the toolbar.. Of course if you go to a competitors site then you give them a hit too so just concentrate on yourself and doing right and often update.. All seems to improve over time with what you say. Thanks
nice article HBB, i hope these tips will help me., i researched a lot about factor affecting the alexa rank a lot but i didn’t get satisfactory results.., hope this will work…:)
Nice Article HBB, i hope some tips will help me. Alexa seems only count traffic from people with tool bar. i helpful
Alexa plays great role to get advt for a blog.your tips to improve rank is very helpful for new blogger. thanks for nice tips.
heyy pradeep, do you think using software like super Alexabooster help to improve alexa,, and what about guest posting , does it help for alexa??
No no dude.. they might trick Alexa.com but in the long run it is not effective. Just improve the posting frequency and be consistent with it.
