Do you have a blog? If Yes! Then you must have worked hard to drive traffic to your blog. But driving traffic to your blog is a great thing, but driving traffic from search engines is the most important thing. You just can't depend on your each post to receive traffic to your blog everyday, you really need to work hard to drive traffic for your blog from top search engines and the rankings they assign for your blog. Alexa is not a new word for you all, it is the company which assigns search engine ranking to each blog. Alexa ranks each site based on the number of visitors it receives.

Alexa ranking is one of the most important criteria where thousands of blogs get indexed in different search engines. Every time a post get published Alexa and Google checks the popularity and uniqueness of the post, content and then assigns a valuable ranking to site based on the content.




In order to improve Alexa ranking, I have gathered and discovered some important tips, secrets and proven strategies from the internet to improve Alexa ranking within the top 100,000 by applying these techniques.

I have summarized the 7 proven strategies that I’ve discovered and applied to my own blog to improve my Alexa ranking, currently my blog Alexa rank under 85K. Apply these techniques to your site and see your ranking climb towards the top.

1. Install Alexa Toolbar

As I discussed above that blog ranking is based on the user behavior at your site (i.e. number of visitors). Alexa only counts those users who visit your site with Alexa ranking toolbar installed on their browsers and those who do not have Alexa ranking toolbar installed will not help their ranking. Alexa toolbar is free and anyone can download and install it on their browsers and then toolbar automatically tracks the sites you’re visiting. So, download the Alexa toolbar and visit your blog everyday to improve your ranking. Alexa also offers the ability to co-brand the toolbar with your blog logo. With Alexa toolbar you will get lots of benefits like you can view statistics of blog or website easily and also it will help in boosting your ranking, even you can add Alexa ranking widget to blog and start browsing with installed Alexa toolbar and encourage your readers to add their positive feedback's on Alexa’s detailed listings page for your website this can be achieved by placing a proper Alexa page on your site and asking readers to “Click here to rate this website”.

5. Get Quality Links

Building quality links to your blog is as important as writing quality posts. Search engines refer backlinks as individual links hence all links, linking back to your site are accounted for. But Alexa works different way, no matter how many backlinks you get from a site, its treated as only one link back from that site. For example, if you have 100 links from a well known site, but Alexa count its a single link back to your site. So, you need to work hard to get lot of quality backlinks from different known sites. One of the best way to receive high quality backlinks by submitting your blog posts to all social networking sites.

6. Commenting

It is very important that you must interact with other bloggers and blogger communities and comment on different posts of others and reply back to them. If you give positive feedback's on their posts, the same you will receive from them. This way you can build your site reputation and readership.

This way you can increase your blog popularity and traffic.
