If you depend on advertisements on your site or selling through your website you would definately want to increase your Alexa ranking as it will definately increase the worth of your website in terms of your ad pricing.
5 Tips on How to Increase your Alexa Rank1.
Install the Alexa Tool Bar or Firefoxes SearchStatus extension and set your website or blog as you homepage. Also consider putting a Alexa Rank widget on your website. Some say that each click counts as a visit even if the Alexa toolbar is not used by the visitor.
2.
Work in a Office or Own a Company? Get the Alexa toolbar installed on all computers and set your website as homepage and encourage others to use the Alexa toolbar. This includes friends, other webmasters, site visitors and blog readers.
3.
Write ways to Increase Ranking using Alexa. Webmasters and website owners love to hear about ways they can increase thier traffic and subsequently their ranking in the search engines. They will link to you and send your website targetted traffic (i.e visitors with the alexa toolbar already installed- if the person visiting you does not have the Alexa tool bar Alexa will not know that someoen visited you.) It will have a gradual and steady effect in your ranking.
4.
Write in Webmaster Forums like this one. People visiting such forums usually are internet savvy and usually have the Alexa toolbar installed. They are people you wish to target. Most webmaster forums like this one allows you to have a signature of your own with links to your website. This is totally free. When you write in the forums you get one way link to your website which otherwise you will be paying for. This can increase both your Alexa ranking and traffic to your site. Hire forum posters to increase the one way link back to your website. You can easily find poster for hire in webmaster forums and other forums.
5.
Use Alexa Redirects on your Website URL. For certain links on your website you may wish to use a Alexa Redirect like
http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?http://forums.hostingitrust.com/. Replace
http://forums.hostingitrust.com/ with your own url. The redirect will count a unique IP address once a day so clicking it multiple times a day will not help. However, there is no official report on its benefit so caution is advised while using it.
