Alexa the web ranking system which ranks all the websites according to the site traffic is and is one of the key factors which is being considered by many of the analysts, advertisers, ad network websites to rate or determine the website’s success, popularity and traffic levels.

On the other hand Alexa is a complete subsidiary of Amazon.com and according to Alexa it ranks websites based on the level of traffic a website receives from people who have installed Alexa toolbar in their browser, It means that Alexa only counts the web traffic which is directed from the Alexa toolbar which directly means that the traffic ranking determined by Alexa is not legit but as still many people consider Alexa as key parameter to measure or show up their website’s success need a good ranking from Alexa and strives hard to achieve it.

In this post I would like to bring you out the hidden treasures of Alexa which if implemented will help you in securing a good Alexa rank in no time and here the 10 ways how you do it.

As we have already discussed Alexa rank is based on the visits a website get from a browser where Alexa Toolbar is installed, so better you start it first yourself by installing the Alexa Toolbar in your home & office systems from where you will frequently visit your website and if possible ask your friends and colleagues to do the same.

As it is not possible for visitor to install Alexa toolbar the best alternative way is to add a Alexa rank widget in your website/blog. It helps the Alexa system to count up the visits and thus will rank you better in the system but, Still make sure that you have Alexa Toolbar installed in your system if you want to rank better.

Reviews are the best ways people look for when they want to decide on things. Say for example if you would like to buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, most of the people among us (at least those who are net savvy) will head up to check for a review of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and then decide on the product. Similarly it is always better if you get good ratings for your website on Alexa (the Mr. Perfect impression is always good to have, what do you say?) so better ask your friends, colleagues and visitors to leave testimonials for your website on Alexa. It is easy to get reviews by encouraging them with some Goodies or Giveaways.

Asking your visitors to install Alexa toolbar really sounds weird isn’t it, instead better you create a toolbar using Alexa Toolbar creator and promote that (you can offer some incentives) in your website. That will help you in getting more traffic and as it will sport a web rank widget it eventually will increase your website’s Alexa rank.

Write something (a review, hack or anything) related to Alexa, It will not only help the bloggers who are looking for ways to increase Alexa rank but also it alerts Alexa and their bots will crawl your content as the keyword “Alexa” will repeat up in your blog. This one is surely a double-win isn’t it?

If you are more committed to get a good ranking in Alexa soon, it is recommended to make some back links for your blog using Alex redirection to your blog. For example when you leave a link outside your website, just leave a link which is http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?infogenra.com make sure you replace infogenra.com with the name of your website.

If you are reading a source from unauthorized sources do you feel that it is trusted, No right? similarly those websites which are left unclaimed are still anonymous and Alexa may end up thinking that they are not legit one. So better you claim your website on Alexa. It helps the Alexa guys to recognize your website.

With some ethical hacks you can manage to get a Alexa Rank but the purpose of starting blog/website can be achieved only if you get some good traffic. So start building some good traffic (Need Help, check How To Get Traffic To Your Website INSTANTLY).

For sure soon your posts may soon get viral and will end up in getting tons of traffic to your website and also will help you in making up some good backlinks.

Promote your websites on other blogs by building some backlinks or simple buy some links and banners from your niche websites. It will help you in getting traffic, exposure and as I already said good backlinks will make your blog more established. Make sure you link your content with good resources.
