After spending two years building my own website, I was very disappointed that my Alexa ranking was still higher than one million. in order to improve my Alexa rating, I spent about three weeks combing the web to find tips, secrets, and proven strategies for increasing my Alexa ranking. Unfortunately, many of the sites offering advice didn’t even have a high ranking themselves. Please advice!

Alexa traffic rankings are not based on AWIS usage. Alexa determines Traffic Rank by aggregating usage information of the Alexa Toolbar and data obtained from other, diverse sources.

I heared the announcement that alexa has changed its ranking algorithm. I am little happy with this change because my website got little improvment. see new alexa ranking for http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.fortunehotels.in Fortune Park Hotels Ltd.

Gireesh Sharma,

How have you found your sites data that is being provided by statcounters?

Even my website’s ranking dropped, though by couple of thousands only.

Strangely, we are seeing a consistent increase in the number of unique visitors through Statcounter.com, the changes in Alexa ranking are slightly dis-aligned.

Wondering, how to make our visitors install Alexa Tool bar!!!

Venky,

One should appreciate small blessings…the majority of upcoming bloggers may consider giving their right arm for your rate of ranking increase.

Stay persistent and consistent.

Rank has not updated in this week for me. Although I see my weekly rank moving up by 10K, the three months rank is same as last week’s. Looks like the frequency has changed to more than a week now.

‘Alexa is Gay’, why do you consider your numbers a drop instead of a rise?

Gary,

You have some pretty impressive statistics. Do you care to elaborate on the process you used to attain such eye catching figures?

Actually, I agree with PHP Learn’s post. Whenever an issue or topic is being researched more than one resource should be utilized to ensure a more accurate depiction of its statistical value.

Its about blinking time I’d say. With this new change, it will surely make Alexa more relevant once again.

I’m new to blogging. My rank has moved up by 300K in this week slightly slower with my previous weeks movements of 1000K.

Any idea what other sources they are looking to apart from this toolbar?

The funniest part of their long overdue admission of guilt in having a flawed ranking system was this part of the Q&A:

My site’s ranking has changed. Was it wrong before?
Your ranking wasn’t wrong before, but it was different.

Oh, I get it. DIFFERENT. Reminds me of Forrest Gump:

“Remember what I told you, Alexa. You’re no different than anybody else is. Did you hear what I said, Alexa? You’re the same as everybody else. You are no different.”

And Philip Morris, which I detail in analogy form here: Alexa Finally Admits They Sucked
