How To Get Alexa Rank Under 100k?

Your Alexa ranking is a function of how many people visiting your site have the Alexa toolbar installed on their browser. If you have a big list see if you can get your list to install the browser and then go to your site a lot more.

Hold a contest and/or a sequential set of posts to keep them coming back.

Or just do what everybody else does and simply ignore Alexa. In the grand scheme of things that rank means very little compared to other metrics that actually pay the bills.

Gotta get more traffic if you want real alexa ranking. Focus on making your website better and promoting it harder.

Alexa rank cannot be a purpose on itself. If you just want to have a nice alexa rank, you have to get more seo/technology/it/etc (some technology gurus) field visitors to your site - usually most of them have alexa toolbar installed. Which means even with very few customers visiting your website will make your alexa rank nicer.
I've experienced that myself - although I was getting only up to 15 visitors/day, I was participating in various link exchange directories and my alexa rank was 450000 - much lowe than a website with 150 visitors/day (the alexa was 3000000 for that website)

At the level that you are Alexa has very little meaning at all. It tends to indicate negligible traffic and even a couple of visitors with the Alexa Toolbar will cause a significant change in your Alexa Ranking.

Alexa does have greater value once you get inside the 1-100,000 rankings because the data is much more statistically valid and many people who buy traffic and eyeballs use Alexa and the 100k mark as a starting point - get your site inside the 100K region and keep it there for a while and you will start to get all sorts of messages from folks who want to monetise your traffic.

If you want to get a better ranking without gaming the system you could do much worse than install an Alexa banner or button, this helps becasue you will then have all the traffic that your site sees counted by Alexa, that does not mean you will suddenly jump from zero to hero but that your data is counted accurately in the ranking algorithm rather than just being a guess based upon tool bar users.

Basically though until you are touching top 100K there is nothing to see, unless you are using Alexa to make comparisons with other sites in your niche - bounce rate, time on site and search traffic can give a useful snapshot, but there is no historical data until again you hit the magic mark.

One thing I like to use to get good rankings with Alexa, is using paid traffic, and not ppc, because ppc is too expensive. You can go to yahoo and type in paid website traffic and select ones that you are interested in. This is one method that has helped me in the search engines.

Maybe I'm wrong, but nowadays alexa ranking is not only based on the number of people using their toolbar...

I see many sites with great ranking wich I know 90% users never user that toolbar.

I advise not worrying about this. Blog regularly ask your users to install the toolbars (mainly your RSS) and after you do that just blog and market and the rank will come with it... in my opinion rank isn't that big of a deal because in the end its the number of viewers not your rank that pays the bills or earns you the money... that being said building backlinks is a great strategy for this.

Marc, you just put the 'banner' code in the footer of your template. If you registered for their premium service then I think pasting their claim code into your public_html folder will do the trick too.

I use Alexa to keep track of the competition, an improvement in my rank is always correlated with either increased interaction with my content and/or more traffic, both good things. Also, once I crossed the 100K line and stayed there I started getting commercial offers that were not available previously.

Well I guess my question is... Who is the Alexa Traffic Panel.. who do they consist of? Who can be on it?

The best way to get better rankings of Alexa is by asking the people to download the Alexa Toolbar in the browser and make them open your website which gives count to the website, apart from toolbar count it takes traffic of Google as well for rating the website.

Bot traffic lol

There are some service which claim to improve your alexa rank, but personally i don't bother about alexa rank if you are not planning to flip the site.

Don't use any softwares to generate your alexa ranking for your website. Drive traffic manually for your website then your alexa rank will automatically comes under 100k.

Instead of trying to improve Alexa rank, give first priority to improve website traffic. As the traffic to your website increases your Alexa rank will improve.

Try to find out what type of users install Alexa tool bar on their browser. Normally SEO and Webmaster related people install Alexa tools bar. Try to attract those people to your website and see how your Alexa rank improves. Also do not forget to isnatll Alexa Toolbar on your web browser.

i think alexa rank is a joke for a small traffic site. From my observation, sites with traffic from USA, Canada, Uk gets high alexa ranking while sites from other location gets lower alexa ranking. I have a site with unique 4500 traffic per day and its alexa ranking is 486, 303 and another with 240 traffic per day and alexa ranking is 407,007 . so you can see why i said alexa traffic rank is a joke.
