Thread: 3 Sure-Fire Ways to Super-Charge your Alexa Traffic Rank

Even if you aren’t a fan of the Alexa Traffic Rank, you can’t deny it’s influence on the web for ranking and comparing website traffic. Along with Google Page Rank, the Alexa Traffic Rank is one of the key Internet indicators of website authority and overall success.
It’s for this reason (and for the fact that I’m near dead-last on the list of Internet Marketing Top Blogs) that I’ve been experimenting with ways of improving my Alexa Traffic Rank.
And I must say, I feel that I’ve been successful. Over the last 2 weeks, my Alexa Traffic Rank has improved significantly.
My Alexa Traffic Rank climb
Two weeks ago, I had a 3-month Alexa Traffic Rank average in the 1,300,000’s.
Last week, that ranking improved to 942,966.
Today, my 3-month Alexa Traffic Rank is listed as 765,305. And Alexa tells me that, over the last 3-months, my ranking has improved by 643,157 positions!
But, even more, my 1-week Alexa Traffic Rank is a startling 240,335!
So, how is this possible?
Everyone knows that a simple, yet arguably inefficient way to improve your traffic rank is to just increase overall website traffic. Hopefully the traffic you’re gaining has Alexa Toolbar users in the mix, otherwise it won’t affect your Alexa Traffic Rank.
The real quick way to get instant results is to TARGET Alexa Toolbar users.
Pointless Analogy
So, for the sake of this pointless analogy, let’s say that improving your Alexa Traffic Rank is akin to working out at the gym and building muscle mass. The only real reason to do either of those two activities is to impress others. I mean, having a great Alexa Traffic Rank doesn’t mean your site is successful and having huge muscles doesn’t mean you’re healthy.
Let’s say your goal was to develop a great-looking, enviable body. You could approach this in two ways. Either use the complete set of gym equipment available to do a complete full body workout. Or, instead, concentrate on the muscle groups that will show off your results much quicker, like your arms and chest.
If you’re goal is to simply impress the average person, then the 2nd way may be a quicker way to your goal.
That’s the same with how we’re going to super-charge your Alexa Traffic Rank. Listed below are 3 easy, quicker ways of improving your Alexa Traffic Rank for instant results.
3 Ways to Improve your Alexa Traffic Rank
1) Install the Alexa Toolbar! This is a no-brainer. With the Alexa Toolbar installed, every time you visit your blog (up to once per day), you’re helping to boost your Alexa Traffic Ranking.
2) Attract visitors likely to have the Alexa Toolbar installed. This is simple. Head over to Google Blog Search, and do a search for alexa traffic rank. Sort by Date. Now, you’ve got a list of people that have blogged about the Alexa Traffic Rank. There’s a very high possibility that each of these bloggers have the toolbar installed.
Play on their ego: Visit their blog and write a glowing comment about your attempt at improving your Alexa Traffic Rank. I will bet you that every single one of these bloggers will check out your site in return. Bloggers (including myself) love seeing whose linking to them and/or commenting on their site.
And as an added bonus, many of their subsequent visitors, also seeking Alexa Traffic Rank hints (and who also probably have the toolbar installed), will see your comment and hit up your blog too! It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
3) Attract even more visitors likely to have the Alexa Toolbar installed! How? Blog about the Alexa Toolbar or the Alexa Traffic Rank on your own blog! Attract people searching for advice on how to improve their Alexa Traffic Rank (and who also hopefully read this blog post first and already installed the Alexa Toolbar themselves).
Then what?! Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 over and over and over. To help you out, add the RSS feed to the Google Blog Search results for alexa traffic rank to your RSS Reader. Comment on all new posts about the subject. Wash, rinse, repeat.
The cycle continues! And others may use you as part of their own cycle! But no matter, in a few weeks, you’ll be the envy of your blog friends, with a super-charged Alexa Traffic Rank!

number 2 technique is awesome

yup , as you see i've also included the credits, i do not like stealing.

I don't get why Alexa wants us to download their toolbar. I mean the whole technique is flawed. You can easily manipulate the ranking. You can manipulate Google's PR too but this one is just so easy.

yup, i actually dont get why people even care about Alexa , btw could some tell me what pr is, cuz i dont really understand it.

PR is PageRank and that's how Google ranks sites.
The ranking varies from 1 to 10. 10 is the highest.
