20 best Ways to Increase Alexa Rank

1. Put up an Alexa rank widget on your website. I did this a few days ago and receive a fair amount of clicks every day. According to some, each click counts as a visit even if the toolbar is not used by the visitor.

 2. Install the Alexa toolbar or Firefox’s SearchStatus extension and set your blog as your homepage. This is the most basic step.

 3. Work in an Office or own a company? Get the Alexa toolbar or SS Firefox extension installed on all computers and set your website as the homepage for all browsers. Perhaps it will be useful to note that this may work only when dynamic or different IPs are used.

 4. Encourage others to use the Alexa toolbar. This includes friends, fellow webmasters as well as site visitors/blog readers. Be sure to link to Alexa’s full explanation of their toolbar and tracking system so your readers know what installing the toolbar or extension entails.

 5. Write or Blog about Alexa. Webmaster and bloggers love to hear about ways to increase their Alexa rank. They’ll link to you and send you targeted traffic (i.e. visitors with the toolbar already installed). This gradually has effects on your Alexa ranking.

 6. Get friends to review and rate your Alexa website profile. Not entirely sure of its impact on rankings but it might help in some way.

 7. Flaunt your URL in webmaster forums. Webmasters usually have the toolbar installed. You’ll get webmasters to visit your website and offer useful feedback. It’s as well as a lovely way to give back to the community if you have useful articles to share with others.

 8. Write content that's related to webmasters. This can fall in the category of domaining and SEO, four fields in which most webmasters will have the Alexa toolbar installed. Promote your content on social networking web-sites and webmaster forums.

 10. Post in Asian social networking web-sites or forums. Some webmasters have suggested that East Asian web users are sizable Alexa toolbar fans, judging by the presence of several Asia-based web-sites in the Alexa Top 500. I suggest trying this only if you have the time or capacity to do so.

 9. Use Alexa redirects on your website URL.  Replace doshdosh.com with the URL for your website. Leave this redirected URL in blog comments as well as forum signatures. This redirect will count a unique IP address two times a day so clicking it multiple times won’t help. There is no official proof that redirects positively benefit your Alexa Rank, so use with caution.

 12. Get Dugg or Stumbled. This usually brings giant numbers of visitors to your website and the sheer amount will have a positive impact on your Alexa Rank. Naturally, you’ll require to create link worthy material.

 11. Generate a webmaster tools category on your website. This is a magnet for webmasters who will often revisit your website to gain access to the tools. Aaron Wall’s webpage on SEOTools is a lovely example.

 14. Generate an Alexa category on your blog and use it to include any articles or news about Alexa. This acts as an easily available resource for webmasters or casual search visitors while helping you rank in the search engines.

 13. Use PayperClick Campaigns. Buying adverts on search engines such as Google or Exact Seek will help bring in Traffic. Doubly useful when your ad is highly relevant to webmasters.

 16. Buy banners and links for traffic from webmaster forums and web-sites. A prominent and well displayed ad will drive loads of webmaster traffic to your website, which can significantly boost your rank.

 15. Optimize your popular posts. Got a popular post that consistently receives traffic from the search engines? Include a widget/graph at the bottom of the post, link to your Alexa post or use Alexa redirection on your internal URLs.

 17. Hire forum posters to pimp your website. Either buy signatures in webmaster forums or promote specific articles or material in your website on a regular basis. You can easily find posters for hire in Digital Point and other webmaster forums.

 18. Pay Cybercafe owners to install the Alexa toolbar and set your website as the homepage for all their computers. This might be difficult to arrange and isn’t a viable solution for most. I’m keeping this four in because some have suggested that it does work.

 19. Use MySpace . This is a tiny shady so I don’t recommended it unless you’re interested in artificially inflating your Alexa Rank. Use visually beautiful pictures or banners and link them to your redirected Alexa URL. This will be most effective if your website has content that's actually relevant to the MySpace Crowd.

 20. Try Alexa auto-surfs. Do we work? Maybe for brand spanking new sites. I think we are mostly suitable for new web-sites with a poor Alexa rank. Note that there be problems when you try to use auto surfs alongside contextual ads like Adsense. We aren’t also long term solutions to improving your Alexa Rank so I suggest using with caution.
