We will talk about few tips here you can apply to increase your blog or website ranking. But before we do so, let talk about what the alexa ranking is and how does it work.

Alexa’s traffic rankings are based on the usage patterns of Alexa Toolbar users and data collected from other, diverse sources over a rolling 3 month period. A site’s ranking is based on a combined measure of reach and pageviews. Reach is determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day. Pageviews are the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. However,multiple requests for the same URL on the same day by the same user are counted as a single pageview. The site with the highest combination of users and pageviews is ranked #1. Source: Alexa
- Install the Alexa Toolbar: You need either Internet Explrorer or firefox to install the Alexa toolbar. Go to http://www.alexa.com/toolbar and install it, if you are using firefox, I will suggest you to download the SearchStatus.

- Set your blog/website you want rank as the homepage: MAke sure you set Set your blog/website as hompage on your own computer. If there are more computers around you, for exa,ple ask your collegues to set your blog as their homepage. The point is to have your blog set up as the homepage on as many computer as you possible. You get the idea, so you can go to a cyber-cafe and ask them to set your blog as the homepage on all of their computers.
- Write an article about how to increase Alexa Ranking or just about alexa: Websmasters are interested in knowing how they could increase their Alexa Ranking, so Write an article similar to this one; teach them how they could.

- Publish and get Published: Publish your article everywhere you can, buy ppc advertisement, buy banners ads places, publish your article on the largets networks, get Dugg, Stumbled, facebook it, etc. You get the idea?
- Flaunt Out Your Blog/website’s Url: Use Alexa redirects on your blog, make sure you put the following link in the blog/ website comments or forums signature http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.blogdoesmakemoney.com. Replace blogdoesmakemoney by the name of the blog/website you want to increase the alexa ranking. Each redirect will count a unique IP adress once a day, so there is no need to click many times on it a day.
- Have others download the Alexa toolbar and review your blog: Have your visitors install the alexa toolbar on their computer, provide them great content, invite them to visit your blog very often for fresh content so they will come back as often as possible. Understand this, The more people whit the alexa toolbar installed on their computer and review your blog the better for you.
- Use autosurf Tool: Using network which exchanges Alexa credits can be an alternative; for example in the UpMyRank Traffic Exchange Program you simply join and start viewing other members websites with their AutoSurf software. These guys sell of more credits than visitors, as the software can run on autopilote day and night while you are sleeping. Your choice.
Obviously, it is the quality and quantity of traffic of your blog how you serve your visitors that will determine your success, specially the long term success. ALexa Ranking can definately be manipulated, thus inacurate, so the key secret to your success whit your blog is providing regularly decent content. Give, you will get back x times fold.
