Everyone knows that alexa rank is not valid since their rank is purely based on their toolbar. No matter how valid (or not) their rank is, alexa rank is still used by many people to determine the traffics of certain site. And if you sell direct advertisement on your blog trough paid review or other methods then you will need to pay attention on this rank.

Since the most important thing on this case is the alexa toolbar, you will need to target visitors who most likely install the toolbar on their browser. Who they are? Bloggers and webmasters. If you don’t have a blog or website, will you ever care about alexa? Probably not.

Here are few ways you can do to increase your alexa rank:

1. Install their toolbar on your browser, and use your blog as you default homepage. Every time you open your browser, you will visit your blog and give ‘points’ to it.

2. Browse your blog everyday. I’ll say it in a simple way. Open your blog, leave it open and continue do whatever you are doing. After a while, click your singe post, leave it open and continue your previous activity, after a minute or two, open another post on your blog, and so on. Doing this everyday won’t distract your daily activities since you only open it then continue doing whatever you do.

3. Blog commenting. I haven’t tried this method on this blog but I use this method on my other blogs. In simple word, visit other blogs and leave a comment or two. One comment each blog is enough for this purpose. Most of the time, you will get a visit from the blog owner or other people who read your comment. The chances they have toolbar installed on the browser is higher then average visitors, trust me.

4. Be active on webmaster forums and put your blog address on your signature. Use an attractive anchor text that will attract more clicks and visits to your blog.

There are still many other methods you can use, but doing the 4 above is enough to increase your alexa rank faster. And it will not need a lot of your time.
