Sometime back, he approached me and ask me a question – “Baba, how does alexa rank truly work?” believe it or not, that’s a lovely question to ask, or don’t you think?

How can we increase our alexa rank?
I also read that in other to increase my alexa ranking, I will need to do some few things, which are;
- Install the alexa toolbar
- Have people, your blog readers do a review of your blog over at alexa’s site
- Create a custom toolbar and give your readers to download
- Locate communities of bloggers that uses the toolbar, so your rank will increase if they visit you.
Those are the things i need to do if I want to get my alexa ranking to a favorable spot – at least, that’s what I read, right?
Now if you watch, you will see that in other to get your rank up, you must have their toolbar installed. And also, the people who visit your blog need to have the toolbar installed as well. Why? Because, they give ranking based on the record their toolbar sends out.
If you create two blogs on two different categories (niche) – let’s say the “making money” niche and the “house sales” niche, you will discover that the making money niche site will have a better Alexa rank than that of the House sales niche, even if the House sales niche is getting more traffic than the Making money niche.
The reason is simply because; people who will be visiting the making money niche sites are bloggers or entrepreneurs who wants to make money online. And you know almost all bloggers (if not all) have the Alexa toolbar installed on their browsers.
How does Alexa rank truly work?
Now to make my subject more clearly to you guys, let me ask you the same question as I was asked; how does Alexa truly work? Is it only when people review your blog on their site, install their toolbar on your browser and the browsers of your visitors, or is it something not mentioned here? I truly need to know!
