Now let me update you with some quasi bad news.

In a previous post, I mentioned several ways to bolster your Alexa ranking.

During a recent update, the redirect function that was available off of Alexa’s website was disabled, so this trick is no longer effective.

P.S. Sorry for the lack of updates for the past couple weeks, I haven’t had a stable internet connection.

There’s no surefire way to instantly command internet users to navigate to your website to boost your Alexa count, but there are a few methods to help you steadily raise your ranking.

1. First off, make sure you are doing your own part. Install the Alexa toolbar on your browser of choice so your own visits count towards your total!

2. What do you think comes next? Yessir, now we try to have the users do their part. Devote a small portion of your website (on a separate page, or the homepage) where you can ask your users to install the Alexa toolbar themselves.

3. When submitting to directories, check and see approximately how many Alexa users browse that directory. A higher count there means a higher Alexa count for you!

4. Use Alexa itself to create redirect links for your website. ( eg: http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?typelife.blogspot.com )

5. Make sure to link from your website to your Alexa statistics page. Like this.
