Alexa.com offers alexa ranking for website which is calculated on the basis of people visiting a particular website with Alexa toolbar installed.

The only solution to improve the alexa ranking of a website is increasing the number of visitors who are using Alexa toolbar. If you are getting large number of visitors to your website and none of them have Alexa toolbar installed, then your website will not have much alexa rankings. And if the most of people who visit your website have alexa toolbar installed, then your website will have great alexa rankings.

I have created a list of tips you can follow to increase alexa rankings for your website:

  1. Alexa toolbar installed - Install the Alexa toolbar and surf your website with the browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox) where you have installed alexa toolbar.
  2. Alexa Ranking Widget – install alexa ranking widget on your website like I have installed on my Make money online: SFM blog in sidebar. When this alexa ranking widget is available in your website, every visit to your website will count as a positive vote towards improving your overall alexa ranking.
  3. Motivate others - motivate your site visitors, friends, fellow bloggers and webmasters to use alexa toolbar.
  4. Firefox SearchStatus Extension - install alexa toolbar or SearchStatus ‘Add-ons’ in Mozila Firefox on all system in your office and set your website address as their default homepage.
  5. Blog about Alexa and its ranking system - blog about Alexa, alexa toolbar, its ranking system and ways to improve rankings will create a lot of interest among bloggers and webmasters who are wiling to improve their website alexa rankings.
  6. Work on Forums - Devote some time on webmaster forums and spread your website link their in your signature section. Most of the webmasters have alexa toolbar installed. So when they visit your website will help improving your alexa rankings.
  7. Content about seo & blogging - write content about seo, blogging, social networks and spread it in forums and social networks like Digg, del.icio.us, Reddit, Propeler, Mixx.com etc.
  8. Using StumbleUpon - submit your website/blog stories on StumbleUpon which will bring lots of traffic to your website and thus will have some positive impact on your alexa rankings.
  9. Directory & search engine listings - Submit your website on Dmoz, Yahoo and other popular web directories. Once you are approved on Dmoz directory, you will be automatically included in Alexa directory. With this submit your website on popular search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Lycos, exactseek.com etc.
