I've recently noticed my blogs google page rank has gone completely and my Alexa rank is terrible, this morning I searched for ways to increase my Alexa Rank hoping my Google Page rank will get better too.
Until this morning I didn't even know what it really was but have found out "the Alexa Rank is a ranking system which bases its ranking schema on the level of traffic each website receives from the number of people who visit a website with the Alexa toolbar installed." And apparently the higher it is the more money a link from your blog is worth in advertising terms, so it would help me to get more sponsored posts and such. Lots of people complain it's not fair as only certain types of sites are likely to attract the toolbar users which puts the others at a disadvantage and I agree. Just because my readers may not have some toolbar installed doesn't mean they are less likely to click links.
This Blog Dosh Dosh has a lot of tips and links to other articles about improving your sites Alexa ranking which I found useful. It's not easy unless you write content that attracts a lot of webmasters apparently as they are more likely to have the toolbar installed. If anyone has any suggestions please comment with them, I've installed a widget on my blog and the firefox plug in that measures every page's rank. Now I just have to work out how I'm going attract alexa toolbar users...
