How to increase Alexa rank?

If only you know how Alexa ranking works, you won't really bother to implement the steps to increase Alexa rank of your blog. But nevertheless, in order to gauge the dollar worthiness of your blog when you apply for 'get paid to advertise' opportunities, you have to necessarily dig into the topic of increasing the Alexa rank.

If you search the Internet, I am sure you can come up with a handful of articles on 'how to increase Alexa rank' but if you really read all those handful of information, you may not find all are worthy of linking to your blog post.

I have selected a lovely article by Dosh Dosh titled, "20 Quick ways to increase Alexa Rank". (doshdosh.com/20-quick-ways-to-increase-your-alexa-rank/)

Man, he writes so well and clear.

ps: BTW, do you know that Alexa is owned by Amazon?

How to get lower Alexa rank?

Alex rank should be as low as possible. The lower the Alexa rank, it means you are ranked as a high traffic one by Alexa.

Another advantage of Alexa ranking is you don't get penalised as Google does to its page rank. Alexa ranking moves up and down almost daily based on the traffic of your blog.

The general desire for all bloggers is to first get the blog ranked under 100,000. This itself is a great achievement and a good positive indicator. Your blog will be favourably looked upon by link buyers, banner advertisers if your blog is under 100,000 Alexa rank.

There are several ways to improve your Alexa ranking, the important being the number of visitors you get daily.
