Improve your Alexa Ranking

The library of Alexandria was said to be one of the largest libraries of the ancient world. This was the first ever library to house various books coming from different nations. The Library of Alexandria was in charge of collecting the world’s knowledge.

So how is the ancient library connected to our modern world?

Webmasters and bloggers nowadays are using a tool called ALEXA RANKING. This tool was named after the Library of Alexandria. If the library’s main goal was to collect the world’s knowledge, Alexa’s role is to gather information that will help Webmasters, advertisers and ad networks. These institutions will use the information gathered by Alexa to verify the worth of a link on your website. If you are one of those people who depend on link and site selling, your bargaining power is increased as your Alexa rank goes up.

So if you are dependent on site selling, here are some tips to increase your Alexa rank.

1. Make sure that you install the Alexa toolbar. You must also set your blog as your home page. This is the first step to increase your ranking.
2. Place an Alexa.com widget/plug-in or chart on your website. This logs your site visitors even if they don’t have the Alexa toolbar installed.
3. Update. Regular maintenance of your blog site is important. This will improve your page views and also visitors will stay longer on your page.
4. If you work in an office install the Alexa toolbar on each computer (provided that you’re allowed to change the settings). After you’ve installed the toolbar, change the home page to your blog site. This tip will work if your office’s internet service provider uses a dynamic IP address.
5. Write about Alexa. Bloggers would like to hear different opinions on how to increase their Alexa rank. It would be helpful if you write articles about Alexa too.
6. Internet cafe. Talk to internet cafe owners to install Alexa toolbar on their computers and make your site as their computers home page.

So those are just a few tips that can boost your ranking and of course increase your bargaining power.

Remember that traffic is also important to increase your rank. You can achieve this by writing interesting stuff to get the necessary page views that you need. It will take some time to boost your ranking so just be patient and keep on doing the necessary things to drive traffic to your site.
