20 Quick Ways to Increase Your Alexa Rank

Alexa.com is a subsidiary of Amazon.com and is a website which provides information on traffic levels for websites.The Alexa rank is measured according to the amount of users who’ve visited a website with the Alexa toolbar installed.
What is the Alexa Rank?
Put simply, the Alexa Rank is a ranking system which bases its ranking schema on the level of traffic each website receives from the number of people who visit a website with the Alexa toolbar installed.
Why would you want to increase your Alexa rank?
Webmasters, advertisers and ad networks use your blog’s Alexa rank as a gauge to determine the worth of a link on your website. If you depend on link or site selling as a form of monetization you’ll definitely want to increase your Alexa rank, because it’ll increase your bargaining power when it comes to ad pricing.
ReviewMe, Text Link Ads and Sponsored Reviews are just three of the networks which base your ad selling strength on Alexa Ranks.
20 Ways to Increase your Alexa Rank
Here is a collection of methods you can use to boost your Alexa Rank. Most of these tips are derived from several fellow webmasters I know who claimed to have derived positive results through their experiments with the Alexa Rankings.
Some of the other tips were derived articles and sources, which I have duly referenced at the end of this post.
Do these tips work? According to some, yes they definitely do work. But do note that most of them require active effort of some sort and hence, they will work as long as long as you are consistently performing specific actions.
To increase your Alexa rank in the long run, I would highly recommended that one focus on developing quality content which attracts and maintains a large audience instead of purely focusing on artificially increasing your Alexa Rank.
Great link-worthy content will leads to an natural increase in site traffic and is an excellent way to passively increase your Alexa rank.
It is important to emphasize that you should devote most of your efforts in growing your site audience alongside integrated implementation of any of the following tips below.
  1. Install the Alexa toolbar or Firefox’s SearchStatus extension and set your blog as your homepage. This is the most basic step.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  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 also a good way to give back to the community if you have useful articles to share with others.
  8. Write content that is related to webmasters. This can fall in the category of domaining and SEO, two fields in which most webmasters will have the Alexa toolbar installed. Promote your content on social networking websites and webmaster forums.
  9. Use Alexa redirects on your website URL. Try this: http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.doshdosh.com . 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 once 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.
  10. Post in Asian social networking websites or forums. Some webmasters have suggested that East Asian web users are big Alexa toolbar fans, judging by the presence of several Asia-based websites in the Alexa Top 500. I suggest trying this only if you have the time or capacity to do so.
  11. Create a webmaster tools section 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 very good example.
  12. Get Dugg or Stumbled. This usually brings massive numbers of visitors to your website and the sheer amount will have a positive impact on your Alexa Rank. Naturally, you’ll need to develop link worthy material.
  13. Use PayperClick Campaigns. Buying advertisements on search engines such as Google or Exact Seek will help bring in Traffic. Doubly useful when your ad is highly relevant to webmasters.
  14. Create an Alexa category on your blog and use it to include any articles or news about Alexa. This acts as an easily accessible resource for webmasters or casual search visitors while helping you rank in the search engines.
  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.
  16. Buy banners and links for traffic from webmaster forums and websites. A prominent and well displayed ad will drive lots of webmaster traffic to your website, which can significantly boost your rank.
  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 really a viable solution for most. I’m keeping this one in because some have suggested that it does work.
  19. Use MySpace . This is a little shady so I don’t recommended it unless you’re really interested in artificially inflating your Alexa Rank. Use visually attractive pictures or banners and link them to your redirected Alexa URL. This will be most effective if your website has content that is actually relevant to the MySpace Crowd.
  20. Try Alexa auto-surfs. Do they work? Maybe for brand new sites. I think they are mostly suitable for new websites with a very poor Alexa rank. Note that there be problems when you try to use auto surfs alongside contextual ads like Adsense. They aren’t also long term solutions to improving your Alexa Rank so I suggest using with caution.

Paid blogging options for making money online

There are many ways to make money online like creating a blog in a niche you are most interested in and generate income from it by showing pay per click ads, affiliate links and banners or textual links that are sold privately or via a text link selling marketplace. Apart from these ways to monetize a blog, there is one more easiest and fastest way to make instant money from a blog in any niche that’s via various paid blogging (Get paid to blog) networks.
From advertiser prospective, there are many blogs who performs really well in their specific niches. And advertisers want to place some links or written content with some link back to their websites to increase their search engine rankings and to spread words about their website and services in blogsphere.
And when you work as a publisher or blogger on a paid blogging network, you will get some fee or percentage of total review cost if you complete a review about an advertiser website successfully. So to start making money with paid blogging, all you have to do become a member of some popular paid blogging networks with the best blogs that you have. Some blog networks have conditions about your blogs like it must be more than 3-6 months old, updated 2-3 times a week, some good PR and Alexa ranking.
Once you get approval from some blogging networks, visit your account on these websites to see if there are some open opportunities waiting for you there or place some bids on the open opportunities that are available. Some paid networks even send e-mail notice about open opportunities or task waiting for your approval.
When you get an opportunity to write for an advertiser, write your content according to the terms about that task. And once you have written and published that content on your blog, inform that blog network with the Post URL and other details. And when your written post is approved, you will be paid the decided amount. Most of paid blogging network send payments into your paypal account and if you don’t have a paypal account, can request for a check as well. All networks send your earned money through paypal or via check at least once in a month. Some network even sends your earnings at an interval of 15 days or even weekly.
And as far as the amount of money that we can earn for each post that we write depends upon our blog niche, its popularity, Page rank and Alexa rankings. You can think of making any money from $5 to $100 or so for each approved post on a paid blogging network.
So here is the list of some of popular paid blogging networks we can use to make extra amount of money from our blogs easily
  • Payperpost (PPP): To be included on this paid blogging network, you must have a blog with a minimum age of 3 months. And if your blog has some good PR like 5 or 6, you have great chances of making some big money with Pay per post. They send payments via paypal once in a month.
  • SponsoredReviews: SponsoredReviews give 65 percent of a fulfilled task to the bloggers and keep the remaining 35 percent in their account. They have lots of advertisers waiting for your bids to be placed according to their mentioned budgets. The minimum budget for an open opportunity that I have seen so far on SponsoredReviews is $5 and maximum budget is $1000. They send payments via paypal twice in a month. So their payment system is quite strong.
  • ReviewMe: You have a great chance of making some big money with ReviewMe if you have a blog with Good page rank, Alexa Ranking, Technorati Ranking and high number of RSS subscribers. Some of popular blogs in blogging and ‘money making’ niche are registered on ReviewMe.
  • Smorty: To approve your account on Smorty, all you need is an active blog having age of 3 months and must be indexed by major search engines. Minimum amount of money that you will be able to earn by writing a review for an advertiser available on Smorty is $6. Once you have made the post and submitted the details on Smorty, your blog post gets approved within next 4-5 business days. They send your earnings on weekly basis into your paypal account. 
  • Linkworth: They have lots of options for bloggers to earn money with their blogs like by selling text link ads, PPC ads, contextual links and paid reviews. They have 50-50 and 70-30 revenue split for publishers. They claim that when we chose to go for 50-50 revenue share as a blogger, we are offered higher amount of money making opportunities. They send payments via Paypal, Check or Direct deposit on the 12th of every month. 
  • Blogsvertise: create a publisher account on Blogsvertise with your most popular and active blogs.And when you get a task for writing, you have to finish that within next five days. You have to include at least three links to the advertiser’s website in your review.

5 Things To Consider While Analyzing Your Competitors

You cannot make your competitors disappear. Yet, you can fight potential customers from them by analyzing their websites and taking relevant actions. Whether you analyze your competitors manually or with a competitive analysis tool, you should consider the following data:
  1. First of all, pay attention to the Page Rank. It is obvious that you have to look it up. Google ranks websites relying on their PR, as well as some other factors, of course. Therefore, competitor’s PR is one of the most crucial details you must consider while analyzing your niche competition.
    To check the PR of any website, either install Google Taskbar (it’s free and easily downloaded from the official site) or use any competitive analysis tool available in the Internet.
  2. Second the most important thing in analyzing your competitors is a number of their backward links. And it is widely known, the more backward links you have, the higher position you get in SERP.
  3. You shouldn’t forget about analyzing competitors’ backward links quality either. If the backward links are from authoritative websites with high PR, you should make great efforts to beat your competitors.
  4. Never forget to check whether the needed keywords are present in the URLs and meta titles of your competitors’ sites. What is important for Google must be important for you as well.
  5. Analyze competitor’s traffic details to identify his marketing strategies. There are several ways of gathering traffic approximations that your competitors get:
    • Alexa, Compete, or Netcraft are free and can be used both by amateur or professional webmaster.
    • Hitwise and ComScore are paid services and provide more comprehensive traffic information.
It is important to keep tabs of what your competitors are doing, but do not dwell too much on their traffic: think more on what you are doing with yours.
Tip: There are many ways how to gather the data mentioned above, the only rule of thumb is to do it in the most cost and time effective way. Competitive Analysis Tool designed by EasySeoTracking meets these requirements. It is a FREE powerful online service to analyze a necessary niche in the market.
This Competitive Analysis Tool delivers the following SEO parameters: Page Rank, number of backward web links, presence of keywords in a URL and title, number of unique visitors, analyzes competitors’ backward links. Give it a try and make sure analyzing a niche has never been so easy.

SponsoredReviews: a real money making opportunity

As all of us know Sponsored Reviews is a paid review providing website where we can buy or sell reviews for or on our websites and blogs. In today’s post, I am going to talk about how to make money online with SponsoredReviews working as a blogger and will also share my experience I have with them.
Account creation on Sponsored Reviews

You must have an active blog with 3 months as its minimum age when you sign up as a blogger on SponsoredReviews.com. If you have a 3 months old blog with little traffic or few back-links, may get rejected here. So it will be in favor for you to submit your best blog here if you want to earn some real cash from them.
How to work as a blogger
Once you accept your blog into their marketplace, you are one step closer to making money with them. When we go to Manage Blogs section in our account on Sponsored Reviews, there is some Suggested Price range defined like $20 to $100 for every blog that we submit. This suggested price is calculated based on our website or blog link popularity, Technorati statistics and Alexa ranking.
So sign-in into your Sponsored Reviews account and start making bids on all open opportunities by browsing Find Advertisers section in your account. There are hundreds of opportunities available when you first logged-in into your account. So you can be selective about the kind of task you place your bids for. For every opportunity, there is some bidding amount you can place bids for and please keep your bidding amount below or equal to the maximum bidding amount allowed for a particular task. I would suggest you to test different set of bids and see which one works for you.
There will be certain advertisers who will be contacting you with a different price bid on some opportunities where you placed your bids earlier. It’s up to you to decide whether to accept their request, decline it or suggest some other price for that opportunity. Suppose you placed your bid as $40 on an opportunity with $60 as maximum bidding amount. And the advertiser is contacting you with a new price of $20. It’s up to you to decide whether you want to reject or accept this task or suggests some different price like $30 as your new bidding price.
Once any or some of your bids get acceptance from the advertisers, you should start writing about those tasks. You have to finish writing and submitting all accepted tasks within a week time from the date they were accepted by the advertisers.
Revenue Sharing & Payment System
They have revenue sharing system of 65:35 i.e. bloggers will be getting the 65 percent of total amount from a completed task and the test of 35 percent will be kept by Sponsored Reviews. They send payments to all bloggers into their paypal account. They make payments two times in a month, on the 15th and 1st of every month.
My experience with Sponsored Reviews.com
I started working as a blogger with them in the month of November last year. And I have been able to earn more than $1300 with them in this short period of time. I’m using Sponsored Reviews on two of my blogs only. So earning of $1300 from one network only in 10 months is not a small earning at all.
Click here to create a blogger account on SponsoredReviews If you also want to make money online writing paid reviews for hundreds of advertisers available on Sponsored Reviews. Please let me know in the comment section if you face in any problem in creating an account on this paid blogging website or have some doubts or questions about SponsoredReviews. Here is my earnings summary screenshot with them:
