How to Increase Alexa Ranking For Your Site

Want to increase and improve your web site’s Alexa ranking? Here are some quick tips that will help boost the Alexa traffic rank for your web site. Follow these steps and see your rank improve in days!

Maki from Dosh Dosh has posted 20 Quick Ways to Increase Your Alexa Rank. Here are some of his key points.

  1. The most basic step: get lots of site traffic by having other sites link to you! That’s what the Alexa ranking is isn’t it?
  2. Install the Alexa toolbar and set your site as your homepage. Everytime you visit your own site, the stats will count as a visit for the traffic ranking.
  3. Use Alexa redirects (my favorite tip). The redirect is basically this: http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?slyvisions.com. Just replace the site at the end of the link. So instead of setting your browser’s homepage to something like http://slyvisions.com, set it to the Alexa redirect of your site!

These three that I listed are just the main and important key points. By doing these three things, I have improved my Alexa ranking from over 2,000,000 to just over 300,000 (and still counting) ever since this domain was up last month. Following these steps can help do the same for your site. You can visit the article from Dosh Dosh to see other ways of increasing your Alexa rank.

    Awesome tips, I am around 350,000 and trying to get the number below 100,000 eventually. Getting more traffic is the obvious metric, but I think there is something to having your visitors equipped with the Alexa browser. I think that having an alexa ranking displayed on your website can also help increase your rank ;)
