Reducing Alexa Ranking
-
I have a site mexat, it's current Alexa Rank is 4,497. So, I want to reduce alexa for this site upto 1500 in One Month.
I have done following activities-
- Install Alexa toolbar on my computer.
2)Put Alexa Header code in Source code of my site.
3)I have a big traffic on daily basis upto 1500 visitors.
4)I am posting Blogs, Social Bookmarking, web 2.0 Profile Creation on daily basis.
But I didn't get good result. So please share me some Useful Strategy for this project.

Ha, Ha--yes the best way to increase Alexa ranking is by increasing visits to your site by browsers w/the Alexa toolbar instead. Sounds like an accurate metric to me

First things first, with 1500 daily visitors, its unlikely to lower the Alexa Rank to 1500 as your current rank (4,497) itself is far better than your website can ask for. As the other members mentioned, putting your effort to lower your Alexa Rank is absolutely useless, it would be great if you can let us know what is that you want to achieve with this. Does it in any way add value to your organization's bottom line? Or you want to do it just because someone has asked you to? If you can throw some light on these, we will be able to help you with your goals.
If you are hell bent on lowering your Alexa Rank, you can ask all your friends and family to install the Alexa Toolbar and ask them to visit your website.
Best regards,
Devanur Rafi.

Hi,
In order to decrease the Alexa Rank what ever you did is great, but here in 3rd point you mentioned you are getting daily 1500 visitors, if this much of traffic is getting everyday means automatically Alexa Rank should down, but it is not happening means, there are some reasons behind this.

You may not getting the rite customers to your site (Un wanted traffic.)
-
In another case if you are getting rite customers and the bouncing rate is very high means just check out your website health like page speed, services,navigation etc...
When ever the user experience is good for a site then the Alexa rank comes down.
Thank you...

I definitely agree with Federico, we have tens of times your traffic on a daily basis and we still have an Alexa global ranking of around 2000. As this is definitely not a metric I/ we care about as it makes no sense and doesn't drive us any revenue or visitors in any way (shout out to RCS from Will Reynolds).

Hey,
Why do you want to increase an Alexa ranking in the first place? Alexa is completely manipulated, and there's software and services that can increase the ranking, but just that, just the number, it won't be a traffic based increase, therefore useless.
The only REAL way to increase an Alexa ranking is having more traffic. 1500 daily visitors does not even come close to the amount of traffic you need to reach the position 1500.
In fact, given that the site has 1500 visitors daily, looks weird that it has a 4497 rank, it should be worse for that amount of traffic.
All you mention in the 4th point, will drive you more traffic, which ultimately may increase the rank, however, you will need much more traffic than 1500 to get to the rank you want.

Why is our login page ranked higher than our homepage?
Hello everyone, When you search "ProtonMail", our Login page always ranks #1 while our homepage ranks #2. We're unsure why this is happening. The PA for our homepage is higher than the login page, and the login page itself basically has zero content except for a login form. We don't want to put the login page on robots.txt, we want to do our best to preserve it so that people can login. However it still does not make sense to us how the login page ranks higher, even though it has a lesser PA. I'd appreciate any help or advice you might have. Thank you.

Can too many pages hurt crawling and ranking?
Hi, I work for local yellow pages in Belgium, over the last months we introduced a succesfull technique to boost SEO traffic: we have created over 150k of new pages, all targeting specific keywords and all containing unique content, a site architecture to enable google to find these pages through crawling, xml sitemaps, .... All signs (traffic, indexation of xml sitemaps, rankings, ...) are positive. So far so good. We are able to quickly build more unique pages, and I wonder how google will react to this type of "large scale operation": can it hurt crawling and ranking if google notices big volumes of content (unique content)? Please advice

Severe Drops in Google UK rankings
Hi Guys, I'm Chris - SEO Noob & appointed website man @ www.customdesignedcable.co.uk I signed up to SEO moz at the end of February and i have slowly but surely been trying to implement the on-page optimisation suggestions with my selected keywords against the appropriate pages. Since i have done this, our pages are still ranking but no where near what they were at before. Out of 70 keywords, we've gone from at least 60+ pages on the first page down to 20+ and the number in the top three has dropped from 55 to 33. Obviously i'm no seo guru far far from it but all of the changes that have been suggested i have adhered to and the result is the exact opposite of what i was hoping for and expecting. I'm after some advice as to how to use seomoz to target my keywords to google primarily to get these page rankings back. Should i just upload backup copies of the site? How would you suggest that i move forward to try and achieve at least similar rankings to what i had previously? Any help is much appreciated as most of our enquiries come from the internet and it has almost completely dried up these last couple of months. Thanks Guys! Chris. P.S. Would redesigning the site look, layout and feel with the same content negatively affect seo? Also, as a completely separate question, how come sites with content that is a lot worse than ours rank higher for the same keywords as ours? Thanks Again

Google India Rankings Drop Suddenly
Keyword: indian wedding planner page:www.hukamievent.com/indian-wedding-planner.php It didn't drop, it just disappeared. No, I didn't do anything to be penalized at all and I am still in there index. I know this question has been asked many times here, while I apply all the suggestions given to other people with similar problem, here's a quick question I need to ask, I made following changes recently, could either of these be the reason for ranking decline? In google webmasters' tools, I had changed geographic target from - india, to- nothing, few weeks ago. could this be the reason. Around 2 weeks ago I paid someone to submit articles to 500 article directories, same article spun many times, he did the job in around 6 days and got back to me with a list of around 150 submissions with as many backlinks, all with same anchor text, "indian wedding planner", one of my targeted keywords. Before the submissions I was on page 9, yes that was nine, and just after the submission I was at page 2 position 1, within a matter few days. I saw my the targeted page improve in ranking and jump on to page one position 10, for a short while, before it disappeared. is this something they call "google dance"? My website is fluctuating on google SERP for many other keywords too, in most cases, my ranking fell. P.S.:With the same keyword,"indian wedding planner" my rankings in google US improved, I am on position 6 page 1. please enlighten fellow mozzers!
