How To “Rank Higher On Alexa”

Last updated on February 18, 2017
Posted on July 10, 2010

How important an Alexa toolbar to get your wordpress blog or website rank higher on Alexa.

Two days ago, July 8th, 2010, my Alexa rank reachs under 100.000, which is now reaching 96.938.

I am quite happy but most of us know that Alexa ranking is not too accurate. But it is still very important in webmaster world. People can’t ignore it.

Alexa ranks can be very useful, let’s mention, if you want to advertise or sell your sites, buyers will still take a look how your blog’s ranks on Alexa.


There are some tips out there too to rank higher on Alexa, however i just give you tips that i really have done, and it works with this blog.

1. Claim your site in Alexa website. Once you have your site registered on Alexa, then you already done the first step.

Claim your site button.

2. Increase your visitors.
Alexa somehow ranks your site higher if your have more visitors with alexa toolbar installed in their browser, so more visitors with alexa toolbar installed equal to more higher alexa ranking.

With this blog, i notice the more content i posted, the more visitors i get. So do not forget to update your blog with your new posts.

More visitors=faster to get high rank on Alexa.

  • Is my site loading fast? I use this shared hosting
  • Try my theme >

3.Embed Alexa widget to your blog. This can be easily done, by copy the code from alexa and paste it somewhere in your blog. The easiest is pasting it in text widget and drag it to your sidebar.

Alexa widget in my footer.

4. Write review of high ranking websites in Alexa sites. Sounds odd, but i have done it and my rank get higher everyday.

Reviews button in Alexa's site.

5. Install Alexa toolbar, and install firefox addon, called, ReloadEvery addon.
This might sound funny, trust me, i didn’t believe it but it works. There was one day my Alexa rank widgets stays the same after a few day. To be honest, i don’t really care with Alexa ranks, but, i was also curious or wanted to know why it suddenly stopped decreasing the number. So i have searched everywhere, and i install ReloadEvery addon. This addon is basically reloading your wordpress blog pages in a period of time, and this can make your alexa number decreased.

Just make sure open many of pages of your blog, and right click somewhere on the page, click reload, every 1 second, 5, or even 10 seconds. You will see the next morning alexa numbers on your widget will get decreased.

What Alexa toolbar looks like.

Now, people say writing an article about Alexa will help too, not sure about it because i have never tried. Share your opinions! 😉

      @Shabnam Sultan, Yes, you are right.

      I also think alexa stats are not accurate, but people still care about it, especially when they want to advertise or sell websites.

      Thanks for your nice comment Shabnam 😉

    Thanks for your great info. I also think Alexa numbers are not accurate but due to the fact that advertisers do look at it, we simply cannot ignore them. And i am actively looking for ways to improve my rankings and i googled and found your blog. Great tips.

    • Kimi says

      December 4, 2010 at 10:52 am

      Hey Edwin,

      I notice with this blog, that if you post at least two posts a day, your alexa will get lots higher.

      Also Alexa defines your traffic, if your traffic is increased, your ranking will be higher. I decided to remove the widget since its slowing down my blog.

      Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment!

      • Edwin says

        December 4, 2010 at 5:29 pm

        Thanks Kimi for visiting my site.

        We are posting an average of ~2 to 3 posts a day and our traffic is growing steadily. However our Alexa ranking is like a yoyo, up and down up and down, sigh..

        • Kimi says

          December 6, 2010 at 5:52 am

          Edwin,

          This blog was no different, it also depends on how old your blog is, you will get there one day, don’t give up 🙂

    Hi Kimi,

    Just like to share that installing alexa toolbar does help. I installed it in 2 of my laptops and in less than 2 weeks since i first commented here, my site’s ranking improved alot. Thanks for the great tips. Btw, is this ReloadEvery addon still workable?

    • Kimi says

      December 16, 2010 at 9:32 am

      Edwin,

      Good to hear that it improves alot. About the addon, i haven’t used for so long, since i have a decent traffic, so i don’t need it, even the Alexa widget which was here, i removed it as well.

      And i still have a good alexa ranking, i guess traffics works well to help increasing alexa’s ranking.

      Thanks.

    You have a great site with lots of helpful information. I’m going to try the “alexa” theory on my site. It certainly can’t hurt! Thank you!

    • Kimi says

      January 26, 2011 at 7:37 am

      Hey, Kathy,

      Thanks for your nice words, Alexa ranking is not too important for some people, but it is useful to check some traffics

      Good luck with your site!

      Kind regards,

      Kimi.

    Great Tips, I’m going to add the widget to my site this week! My rank is dropping at a decent rate now, can’t wait to see if the widget helps even more.

    • Kimi says

      January 27, 2011 at 7:19 pm

      Hi Shawn,

      I guess the widget helped a bit, i used it too when my Alexa was still 100k.

      But then i realized that most important to increase your alexa rank is actually your traffic, when you have increasing traffic, it will increase automatically.

      I did then remove my alexa widget because it slowed down my site.

      I am sure your blog’s Alexa’s rank will increase 🙂

      Thanks for leaving a comment,

      Kind regards,

      Kimi.

    Yes Alexa really helps though still my site is far from getting closer to hundreds of thousands.

    Thanks for the current and detailed article on Alexa ranking. A few years ago it was possible to hide Alexa code without the ranking showing up on your pages … I’ve not figured out how to do it again. Regardless, Alexa is an absolute force to be reckoned with. I have clients that today, ask immediately what our Alexa ranking is … 3mil just seems soooooooo high. I’m shooting for better numbers very soon.

      Hi John,

      I know definitely by creating posts everyday, you Alexa rank will decrease quicker.

      But yeah, it needs work everyday..

    Thanks for the tips! I’ll try ReloadEvery and see if it works with my website.

      August 23, 2011 at 5:26 pm

      Hi Marc

      It did take me 1,5 years to get this 11.xxx alexa..

    Reloading our blog’s page must be a good idea to increase alexa rank. But wouldn’t adsense disable our blog from showing ads.
