      I have a site mexat, it's current Alexa Rank is 4,497. So, I want to reduce alexa for this site upto 1500 in One Month.

      I have done following activities-

      1. Install Alexa toolbar on my computer.

      2)Put Alexa Header code in Source code of my site.

      3)I have a big traffic on daily basis upto 1500 visitors.

      4)I am posting Blogs, Social Bookmarking, web 2.0 Profile Creation on daily basis.

      But I didn't get good result. So please share me some Useful Strategy for this project.

        Hey,

        Why do you want to increase an Alexa ranking in the first place? Alexa is completely manipulated, and there's software and services that can increase the ranking, but just that, just the number, it won't be a traffic based increase, therefore useless.

        The only REAL way to increase an Alexa ranking is having more traffic. 1500 daily visitors does not even come close to the amount of traffic you need to reach the position 1500.

        In fact, given that the site has 1500 visitors daily, looks weird that it has a 4497 rank, it should be worse for that amount of traffic.

        All you mention in the 4th point, will drive you more traffic, which ultimately may increase the rank, however, you will need much more traffic than 1500 to get to the rank you want.

          I definitely agree with Federico, we have tens of times your traffic on a daily basis and we still have an Alexa global ranking of around 2000. As this is definitely not a metric I/ we care about as it makes no sense and doesn't drive us any revenue or visitors in any way (shout out to RCS from Will Reynolds).

            Hi,

            In order to decrease the Alexa Rank what ever you did  is great, but here in 3rd point you mentioned  you are getting daily 1500 visitors, if this much of traffic is getting everyday means automatically Alexa Rank should down, but it is not happening means, there are some reasons behind this.

            1. You may not getting the rite customers to your site (Un wanted traffic.)

            2. In another case if you are getting rite customers and the bouncing rate is very high means just check out your website health like page speed, services,navigation etc...

            When ever the user experience is good for a site then the Alexa rank comes down.

            Thank you...

              First things first, with 1500 daily visitors, its unlikely to lower the Alexa Rank to 1500 as your current rank (4,497) itself is far better than your website can ask for. As the other members mentioned, putting your effort to lower your Alexa Rank is absolutely useless, it would be great if you can let us know what is that you want to achieve with this. Does it in any way add value to your organization's bottom line? Or you want to do it just because someone has asked you to? If you can throw some light on these, we will be able to help you with your goals.

              If you are hell bent on lowering your Alexa Rank, you can ask all your friends and family to install the Alexa Toolbar and ask them to visit your website.

              Best regards,

              Devanur Rafi.

                Ha, Ha--yes the best way to increase Alexa ranking is by increasing visits to your site by browsers w/the Alexa toolbar instead. Sounds like an accurate metric to me 🙂
