Alexa rank has become a popular yardstick to measure the value of your website. Webmasters, advertisers and ad networks use your blog’s Alexa rank to determine your PR juice.

In this article, I will talk about one easy way to improve your Alexa ranking. This is not a method that will game the system and improve your rank, so beware.

A lot of people don’t seem to realize that Alexa rank is based on the number visits to your site from users who have Alexa toobar installed on their browser. So if you think majority of users to your site don’t have a good reason to have a Alexa toolbar installed, then you are not getting any credit for those visits! It may not be fair, but that is a topic for another day.
.
So how do you make sure that you get credit for these visits? Make Alexa aware of these visits by putting an Alexa rank widget on your website. You can get a widget for your website from http://www.alexa.com/siteowners/widgets. You could pick any one of the three:
.
Alexa Traffic Widget
Alexa Status Widget
Alexa Rank Widget
.

.
Now, you may not want put this badge on your website because your rank is not something to crow about, or purely for aesthetic reasons. They certainly could have made those badges look better! Anyways, the solution would be to keep include the badge in the footer of your pages, but keep it hidden using CSS (use class property display : none). You can go to our homepage www.remotetiger.com and view the source to see an example.
