How to get Alexa rank?

[ariese]

Hello

I'd like to ask about how my site gets alexa rank.

must the visitors have alexa toolbar installed in their PC's?

so alexa tool bar is sending information about sites it has visited?

or i should put a code in my site so it checks if the visitor has an alexa toolbat installed then it reports to alexa site.

Thanks

basically yes... the toolbar is looked upon as a poll of all traffic

As far as i know they only count visits from people with the alexa toolbar installed because when a user visits a site using the bar , it registers with Alexa and so affects your rank. In short, you need to get lots of people to get the toolbar installed and visit your site.

If none of my website visitor have installed alexa toolbar on his pc then?

decrease alexa rank?

only pcs with installed Alexa TB can help you boost your Alexa Ranking so it's totally useless now in SEO.

It is very simple to get Alexa rank, go to the www.alexa.com and type your url in it then it will show you the rank.

Or you add a alexa tool bar in your browser to get alexa rankings for the sites.

To get the Alexa ranking your site should be popular and Search engine optimized one.

let me if you have any questions.

To get higher Alexa ranking get websites who have high Alexa Ratings to link back to you. Make sure they are related to your content though!

No. It's simple enough, let's go back to what cally said:

That's it, it's all based on traffic. The more folks that visit your site with the Alexa toolbar active, the higher your rating.

There are ways to increase the traffic. The first thing that comes to mind is produce content about Britney Spears and other celebrities. These ads don't pay much though. I remember one article I mispelled the person's name and got a lot of traffic.
