How to Rank higher in Alexa?

Why do you care about Alexa, will it put money in your pocket?

Does anyone care about it by any chance ??:confused::confused:

Does alexa ranking helps a website to get traffic? or it is based on the traffic amount of a website?

try linkcollider,put ur site on it.see in a week.boost up ur alexa rank clearly.

If u have huge traffic one your website than your alexa will increase

Personally, I don't think it is important at all. Alexa rank is highly skewed toward the kinds of sites people who download the Alexa toolbar visit (my guess would be tech and marketing related sites) so it is very inaccurate. There are mehtods to manipulate Alexa rank but if you're trying to sell a site and somehow your site shows a higher Alexa rank than say Black Hat World, you would probably lose all credibility and casue potential buyers to question any other claims you make about a site.

I have a client that wants to boost his website. Maybe he want to sell it afterwards.

I agree with you Sir, still some website buyers check/requires sites rank at alexa.

My plan is very simple...

You either wait until a compan's ad is displayed through Adsense.
or
You deal with the company directly, keep the 32% lost to Google and get a share of the ad budget before even touched by Adwords (meaning a higher percent is available). This allows you to control who displays ads on your site giving you a chance for a higher CTR I am finding, which companies love. It is easy for them to accept a set fee per month, 3 months, 6 months. I have yet to have anyone sign up longer then that.

Something else, as far as selling targeted niche links or Ad banner space. Look around the most popular niche forums at all the advertisers, you can usually get the exact price they are paying for Ad space on the forum FAQ advertisement page.

Here's an example of a random niche forum advertising rates, which in this example are priced low because the Ads are rotating with other buyers/Ads. I would target the higher priced same niche forums advertising rates to find advertisers for my own site.

My point is, you can get an idea what an existing advertiser is already paying for same niche Ads, If they're already paying a fixed price they might be interested in your traffic. Knowing the exact price an advertiser is already paying is a sales advantage.

The niche I'm in, most forums average between $100 - $500 per month for a banner Ad in the header.

Another advantage from looking at advertisers on same niche forums, the largest forum in my niche has a page that list all the advertisers (100+ same niche targeted advertisers (from a single forum)).

I've been thinking about targeting more of these advertisers with a niche magazine, I think it would work simply because I haven't seen anyone else in my niche with a magazine, even If it's only a quarterly magazine.

Ignore what Alexa says about your website. If you are satisfied with the performance of your website, then poor Alexa statistics on your website should not frustrate or discourage you. Alexa is not as accurate as it is thought to be. It only counts the visitors to your website who use the Alexa community toolbar.

This is merely my theory based on experience:

When you deal with clients who are not knowledgeable about ranking, how to figure out traffic details and a good grasp of SEO then Alexa seems to be their one stop easy solution. This doesn't make Alexa right nor even something for most website owners to be concerned with, just something that if you are going to start dealing with customers on a professional level without something like Adsense in between then it can serve as a door opener. You are still going to have to sell your traffic can achieve the business needs of the client, so having an alexa ranking of 75k doesn't close the deal as I said, just opens the door.

I am slowly starting to look at doing an eMagazine within my niche, the readers paying per issue model I don't think can be successful however using ads could be effective. In my niche there is a history of these things floating around for years so in some ways it is could be considered evergreen ads. (Or at least that's my selling idea) Nice to see I am not the only one with these ideas running around.

Use auto suft, everyone said that.

Alexa is totally useless outside United States as very few Asians and Africans use it so if most of your traffic comes from Asia, Africa and Southern America Alexa has little clue.

FWIW, Alexa though is a pretty good predictor of what your PageRank would be in next iteration so increasing it is desirable but well nigh difficult for sites that don't have traffic from North America.
