How to improve your Alexa rank

Alexa rank provides information about the traffic level of your website. To view Alexa rank you must first install the Alexa toolbar:

Alexa toolbar for FireFox

Alexa toolbar for Internet Explorer

Once this is done, you can see the Alexa rank of your site. The smaller the number, the more traffic you have. Of course this indicator is biased since it only takes into account visitors that have the Alexa toolbar installed. However, the Alexa rank is often used in blog networks and for website advertising. Below is a list of actions to perform in order to increase your Alexa rank:

• Set your website as your homepage. Therefore, every time you start your browser, you have one additional visit.
  
• Propose an Alexa widget on your website. The more users have it installed (and then visit your website), the better rank you will have.
  
• Participate to forums related to your website's topics. This will increase the number of visitor to your website if you post relevant information.
  
• Use different social networks to increase your traffic. Digg and Stumble are examples of place were you can submit your website to get more traffic. This will only work is you participate (i.e. if you get known by other users).
