How to Get Your Alexa Ranking to Drop like a Rock… to Increase Your Popularity.
blog, traffic secrets 80 Comments »Alexa.com just ranked this website to be the
373,861 st most important website in the world… which is
very, very cool… then I got to thinking.
You probably want to know how I did it or what you can do to
increase your website’s popularity index too.
Increasing mine began with having Alex Jeffreys remind me of
the importance of creating a WordPress blog… of value.
Then along came a wonderful friend named Joann Henry, who
was kind enough to share her experience with a great little
add-on program…
Quite simply, once you install this Firefox add-on there will
appear a small little graph, bar and number that tells you your Traffic Trend,
Global Reach and of course your all important Traffic Rank… in your
browser’s right corner.
The add-on is called Sparky.
The real cool thing about Sparky is that it actually shows all these
values for every website you visit in real-time… not just yours.
Here is a list of a few things I’ve done to watch my Alexa ranking
plummet to where you see it now…
1. created interesting blog posts,
2. used curiosity based headlines,
3. tagged my posts,
4. talked about authority sites in my posts,
5. put the WP top commentators list in my sidebar,
6. installed the WP comment luv plugin,
7. used the Yahoo mybloglog sidebar widget,
8. visited other people’s blogs and left comments,
9. replied to people’s comments on my blog,
10. made sure there were external links in all my posts,
I’m not really sure which has impacted my Alexa ranking
dropping more than the other… but I’m glad it has
had the combined effect I’ve always been looking for.
If you want to see your blog become more popular with the
search engines and to those that surf the web, install Sparky
Then visit people’s blogs with a lower Alexa ranking than yours, try
to figure out why they’re more appealing… then copy what you think
they’re doing.
Positive results will surely come your way.
If you really want your traffic to increase in
the next 24 hours, this will work… GUARANTEED.
Step 1 – install Sparky
http://www.alexa.com/toolbar/
Step 2 – click on any blog post at any WordPress blog
website then scroll down to where you see people that have
placed comments on any blog posts,
Step 3 – click back through the URL links of at least
10 commentators back to their blog websites,
Step 4 – read any of their most current blog posts and
place a comment either thanking them for: their
information, how it has positively affected you, or
something else that’s POSITIVE.
Step 5 – its likely that a few will take the time
to visit your blog and leave a comment too.
Step 6 – approve their comments,
Step 7 – look at your new Alexa ranking… it should be
lower than before.
Have a great day, get Sparky and make sure you
leave a comment here so everyone reading this blog
post can jump over to your blog and leave a comment there too.
In case you didn’t know, every time someone
comments on your blog and you approve their comments…
you get a backlink…
The more backlinks… the more popular you become.
So start right now…
You’ll be surprised at what happens in the next 24 hours with
your world wide web blog website’s popularity.
Let me know how it goes,
Rob
P.S. A more popular blog means much more traffic and
to get a better Alexa.com ranking this Firefox add-on will
encourage your progress… all along the way.
