In the last post, we talked about installing the Alexa Toolbar as the first step to increasing your Alexa Rank. Let us look at some more things that you can do to achieve this goal.
Alexa Rank Widget
This widget is something different from your Alexa Toolbar. It is supposed to add to your visitor count even if the visitor does not click on your toolbar. According to stats, the widget receives a fair amount of clicks from visitors in general.
Set your default homepage to your web site
This is particularly effective for those who are promoting a business or company web site or blog. What you can do is install the Alexa Toolbar and widget in all your computers in the office and then set the default homepage to your own web site or company blog. Of course, this can only be done for the official site – forget about doing this for your personal site or blog, you’ll only get in trouble!
Alexa redirects
Do you like leaving comments and posting in forums? Use this to your Alexa advantage by making use of Alexa redirects. It works this way – instead of using a direct link to your site or your blog, use a redirect: http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.yourdomain.com. People who click on your link will then be counted – hopefully increasing your Alexa rank. This last one is not a surefire way of increasing Alexa rankings but it just might help.

Thanks for this article about Alexa ranking. Your idea sounds interesting. Anything that helps is worth it!
I never figured out the who Alexa rank thing. What purpose does it serve? Why should I care what my rank is?
As I understood, Alexa rank reflects your website’s traffic. But there’s a huge flaw in it: websites with weak content may have a higher rank than good websites, just becaue they spam their links around the internet too much.
Thanks, for alexa article
There is some controversy over how representative Alexa’s user base is of typical Internet behavior. If http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.fortunehotels.in Alexa’s user base is a fair statistical sample of the internet user population, Alexa’s ranking should be quite accurate.
