You must have heard of many ways to improve your blog's Alexa ranking.
I would like to take this opportunity
to share with you my ways to improve your blog’s Alexa Ranking:
1. Post
regularly: It is good to post daily. Your Alexa Rankingis determined by
the intensity of your posting. The more
frequently you post the better. According to Alexa:
Traffic
Ranks are updated daily. A site’s ranking is based on a combined measure of
Unique Visitors and Pageviews. Unique Visitors are 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. The rank is calculated using a proprietary
methodology that combines a site's estimated average of daily unique visitors
and its estimated number of pageviews over the past 3 months.
I post an article a day and the posting is automated by
Blogger so that it is live at the same time every day. When you post regularly, your readers are
expecting to read your new post daily. In
a way I am building readership and followers because they can count on me.
2.
Internal links: I only started to do internal links
in April this year after reading an article
by Neil Patel, How to Conduct a Content Audit on Your Site. I follow faithfully his
method to audit my site. I notice that I have not done internal linking so I just
do it. The result is amazing. I
see substantial improvement in Bounce Rate, Daily Pageviews per Visitor and Daily Time on Site as shown in the above image as at June 23,2014. Internal links are links within an article to
other articles of the same blog. You will notice what I have done in this
article for those words highlighted in red . When you click on it, it leads you
to another article. The more links you have the better it is. It is good for
your readers as well as for search engine optimization. It is a proof that your
blog is providing a wealth of information.
3. Share
your posts at social networking sites: It is not enough just to post daily and
do nothing else. You have to market your blog and posts. I upload an article
three times a day (morning, afternoon and evening) to the following sites:
·
Facebook
The idea is to attract more
people in different time zones to visit my site.
4. Get
connected: Once a day, I look for people to connect at social networking sites
as mentioned in No.3. The more
you connect and get acquainted, the more people will take note and go to your
site to read your posts. As the posts are internally linked to other articles,
they are more likely to read more pages and spend more time on my site.
To be effective, it is necessary to do all four things regularly.
I hope the
information is useful to you and you are able to improve your Alexa
Ranking.
