Increasing Alexa Rank - A Joint Experiment

March 25th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

I have 2 sites now so I can see first-hand how inaccurate Alexa Ranks can be, which are supposed to measure the level of traffic a site gets. The inaccuracies are created because Alexa relies on measuring how many users who have installed the Alexa IE toolbar.

For many sites these inaccuracies aren’t an issue, but many advertising services like Text-Link Ads and ReviewMe, as well as potential advertisers use these stats to gauge the value of advertising on a site, so monitoring your Alexa Rank can be important.I’ve become a bit frustrated with the fact that my Alexa Rank (currently 26,070) is lower than some sites where based on Google Analytics data I have more traffic. So, I’ve decided to try a few of the methods that DoshDosh have suggested to improve Alexa Rank, and it’d be good if as many of my readers as possible took part to see it works for their sites as well.

Maki listed 20 steps to Increase Alexa Rank, but to take part in the experiment you only need to try 1 or more of the steps below (remember to record your Alexa Rank before you start):

Install the Alexa toolbar or Firefoxâ€™s SearchStatus extension and set your blog as your homepage. This is the most basic step
Add an Alexa rank widget on your website
Encourage others to use the Alexa toolbar. This includes friends, fellow webmasters as well as site visitors/blog readers
Use Alexa redirects on your website URL. Try this: http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.connectedinternet.co.uk. Replace connectedinternet.co.uk 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 wonâ€™t help

If sufficient numbers of your readers join the experiment and follow steps 1&3 then your Alexa Rank should definitely increase. It’ll be interesting to see if anyone sees any improvement from adding the Alexa rank widget.

Ok, I’ll kick it off:

Comment by TJP on 25 March 2007:

I read this post as well. Lots of good info.

Right now, my rank is 192,150. Let’s see if these tips work.

Comment by Mr.Byte on 25 March 2007:

I think I should start first by downloading alexa toolbar. But I really dont understand the concept of measuring the traffic by alexa as not even half the people who use internet will have alexa toolbar.

Comment by engtech on 25 March 2007:

Does the Firefox SearchStatus extension work for increasing Alexa rank of the sites you visit, or is it only the IE toolbar?

date: 26/03/07
Rank: 40,456
#5

Comment by Everton on 25 March 2007:

According to my research today yes - anything that asks Alexa ‘whats the rank of this page?’ does apparently.

I’ve also implemented #9 from Maki’s list in my footer, although I’m not too sure about this one:

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 wonâ€™t help.
#6

Comment by bill on 25 March 2007:

Tip number 9 caught my eye as well. What had me worried was this - would that redirect count as a valid link to my site when Google and the like were indexing … or would it count as a link to Alexa? I just don’t know enough about redirects and traffic ranking to gamble on it yet.

I did install the Search Status extension though. I’ll also add my current stats to the frey…

date: 3/25/07
rank: 441,229

Let’s see where we are in a week.
#7

Comment by engtech on 25 March 2007:

I think it would count as a link to alexa — but that doesn’t really matter because all of the comments are usually nofollowed anyways.
#8

Comment by Mark from Bloglyne.com on 26 March 2007:

What does encouraging people to use the Alexa toolbar have to do with your own traffic rank? Is it like an affiliate link that if they click through your link and install the toolbar then you get a “multiplier” to your rank? If that is the case then the rank is completely bogus…
#9

Comment by engtech on 26 March 2007:

encouraging your readers to use the Alexa toolbar increases your rank because, well, they’re reading your site with it.

If they don’t use the toolbar then your rank doesn’t benefit from those readers.

The redirect thing is to tell Alexa “look, I’m getting traffic!!!” (it doesn’t use the toolbar), which only goes to show how dumb the entire Alexa traffic rating system is (much like Technorati rank).

That’s why it’s an experiement. I guess it’s not smart to make all the changes at once though

Alright - As of today, I have an Alexa rank of 369,624.

I have written an article about Alexa - where I encourage folks to us SS or the ATRS
Created an Alexa Category
I have the sidebar widget installed

I will wait a couple of days and implement a few more of DoshDosh’s tips…

Comment by Brendan on 28 March 2007:

I”m in…Digitalphocus.com launches the test at Alexa rank 601,807….no where to go but up!

The only problem is that, in addition to these changes, I’m hopefully building links in which skews the results. But then again, what do I care I’m 601,807!

Let the fun begin!
#15

Comment by Everton on 28 March 2007:

I actually think this might be working! My daily rank since I started the experiment has dropped about 10,000 to 17-18K even though my traffic has been poor the last week or so.

The 3 month average in the widget doesn’t reflect this yet, but it’s looking good so far!
#16

Comment by bill on 1 April 2007:

Just thought I’d check in and share my results. At the one week mark I’ve increased nearly my level by nearly 50k. Here are my updated stats:

date: 4/1/07
rank: 391,291

As far as following your three suggestions the only thing I really managed was to install the Firefox extension on my home PC. I have not installed it on my work PC yet - I’ll definitely be doing that tomorrow. My traffic has been just slightly above average (according to Analytics and SiteMeter) and my posting frequency has been constant. Not too shabby for one week I think.

Comment by Ashish Mohta on 3 April 2007:

I am using the plugin already but will it be a good idea to show up their alexa rank if its low ?
#18

Comment by Everton on 3 April 2007:

If you’re worried about visibly displaying your page rank you could try out #9 from Maki’s list. I think this is the best one if it actually works
#19

Comment by Ashish Mohta on 3 April 2007:

I saw that but will it not be annoying if I am putting it on everyblog and site.Chances are it might get caught in spam.The bloggers might just not realize it and think it as spam
#20

Comment by Everton on 3 April 2007:

add it to your footer. Check out the first link in my footer on the left
#21

Comment by Ashish Mohta on 3 April 2007:

Adding to footer ? It will work only if somebody clicks it right?

Then why not put it on the header where we display our blog url will that be useful?
#22

Comment by Everton on 3 April 2007:

My theory is that when search engines crawl my site then that link will count towards raising my alexa rank. Could work………..
#23

Comment by Ashish Mohta on 3 April 2007:

allright sounds good then.I will be using it in my footer.
#24

Comment by Daniel on 4 April 2007:

everton, I see a 25,924 today, did it bounce back from 18,000?
#25

Comment by Everton on 4 April 2007:

my 3 month average which is currently 25,924 has never been 18,000 - that’s the daily number. At the start of the experiment my 3mht avg was 26,024 so I’ve seen a small improvement.

But, my daily average has improved by about 5000 to 17-18k, so the 3mth should catchup soon
#26

Comment by Ashish Mohta on 4 April 2007:

Did it happen because you have the script or coz of one which is at the footer?

Comment by Andy Beard on 11 April 2007:

I am more subtle about this than you guys, search status is also a great plugin to suggest people use in spotting nofollow links on comments and other linking structures not normally spotted.

My post on nofollow and pink boxes was the first, but I have done a few since then as well.

Even my recent post on Blogcatalog included a link to Search Status, and so far in just a few days resulted in 10 clicks through.

If you don’t want to write such an extensive post, you can always just link through to others writing about such topics, and eventually half your Firefox using readers will have the plugin.

Comment by HMTKSteve on 13 April 2007:

The redirect thing is BS, it does nothing.

I added it as an iframe on my page footer and saw no jump when traffic spiked.

The easiest way to increase your Alexa ranking is to use Firefox with the toolbar. All you need is a dynamic IP and lots of time on your hands.

If you check the Alexa numbers for hmtk.com you can see how one person with the toolbar can skew the site rating by thousands of points.

Comment by Ken Xu on 10 May 2007:

Cool tips. So, alexa is just a cheating tool to show web’s ranking?? That’s mean my rank 378000+ is a modified rank? Hmmm… I’m not understand the detail. If your statement is true, I can’t rely on Alexa ranking anymore.

Do you have any alternative ranking tool or site that can’t be cheated like alexa.com?
#48

Comment by Everton on 10 May 2007:

Alexa ranks are good for a quick proxy of which sites have more traffic, but becuase it relies on sampling to create the stats it is never going to be 100% accurate.

I wouldn’t call these tips cheating as I don’t think that is fair e.g. you wouldn’t call the many actions that people take to try and improve their page rank cheating.

I’m in as of 23 May … installed the Alexa widget on a couple very low ranking sites and noted all the data, will try to remember to check back weekly.

Not sure if the redirect idea will work … probably it will, but it’s too clunkyfor me to play with. What _does_ work though, at least short term … find a key phrase n your site that Alexa will pull up the site for and Alexa search it a couple times aday … I use it when Iwant to vie one of my sites for some other reason … you will like the results
#57

Comment by Mark from Bloglyne.com on 23 May 2007:

One of the things I am doing, which may or may not be helping is that when I go to my site daily with SearchStatus installed, is I click on the traffic rank widget in my sidebar to view my stats - I think I have noticed a 20k improvement.

Alexa says this widget does not do anything to improve rankings, and that may be true just on its own, but I believe if you go to Alexa from a site through the widget with a toolbar app installed, it my help. Don’t know for sure, would be interested to hear if others have had the same experience, or would be willing to add this to their experiments.

Where’s the rest of the experimenters? I started this group experiment 1 month ago, 23 May and put the Alexa Rank widget in the sidebar of 7 low-traffic blogs. Some had entries made during the test month, some did not. Results:
———-
Alexa
Gain/Loss Pct

9391 3.80%
138043 13.64%
(151137) -19.46%
38934 6.34%
30160 3.48%
918919 42.93%
4969251 88.55%

7 “nothing” sites hardly makes an Internet but the results I see certainly show that the Alxexa widget makes a _big_ difference for low traffic, low activity sites. Anybody else got resluts to share?

Comment by Terry | Psychic ability on 12 January 2008:

I followed this and installed the widget to my site and then on the pages within the site. Two things happened and I do not know if it was by coincidence.
First my main keyword targeted webpage went from G Page 3 to G Page 1 position 7 and stayed there. Two I noticed an immediate drop from 2Mill to 1 mill in my traffic ranking.
I used a splash page and put it on every traffic exchange I could find. (No adsnese pages). In fact the splash page sold software for $6.99US. I was surprised that I actually made quite a lot of sales (thats another story and my next project) and two I was seeing results in Alexa traffic.

All this came about by installing the widget on my most popular pages. I say it works.

@Michael - Started putting up articles about two weeks ago, and visiting my own blog from the office and home and clicking once from each location per day on the rank widget.

I have also started to gain a few more visiters, and my rank is up about 210,000 this week.

Comment by Psychic Ability | TerryG on 14 January 2008:

Hello Mark, I would like to give you the example of my splash page. It is for a product that I use and find is nothing short of brilliant for the work I do.
The splash page is http://www.psychic-aus.com/map
What I did was put the widget on the splash page and if a visitor is interested they click for more info (another widget on that page) even the order form.
I have seen my page views increase since I did this in recent times. I am of course targeting the main url for my experiment following along your lines.
I know the traffic exchange traffic will only be the one IP address A will record but if a user is interested and clicks my further info page then I must be getting a whole new ip address. The beauty about te’s is that users are from all over the world and I will be getting a variety of C class recordings (different servers).

Hmm let me tell you my experince… I launched slBlogs.org 1st of january 2008. I tried the alexa tool bar and made my blog home paged. Then ofcause I made this discovery. Its very easy to get in to 1 million margin by it self. But there after bit tough. You need readers. With about 100 readers per day you can easily sneak in to 300000 margin where I am… Awesome right.. Hmm but i haven’t used that redirect issue. Will work on that as well and see… Hope my experience is useful.

I was wondering if there was another website like Alexa but with some more real values?

Yes, there is http://www.quantcast.com it appears more accurate for English Speaking / USA sites though not for foreign sites, at least it is worth comparing.

While hi5 maintains its strong hold in Central America, it faces tough competition in Asia from many social networking sites. Hi5.com comes in first ten ranking in http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.fortunehotels.in Alexa.com.
