Why My Alexa Traffic Ranking Is Important.

Nothing worse than being in a race and tripping over your own feet 6 and landing on your face just inches from the finish line.

That seems to be what I did with my Alexa ranking when I changed my focus. But not to worry I am moving back closer to the magic 100,000 mark again. I also took a nose dive from a PR4 to a PR3.

For myself and many other marketers the Alexa ranking is important too, just as the Google PageRank(PR) is important.

It seems that the group of readers I started with were mostly Alexa toolbar users and my new readers, well not so much. I will have encourage them to install the Alexa Toolbar into their browser.

It’s pretty easy, just hop over to Alexa.com where you will see a link in the top center of their page. Of course you can go directly to that page with this Alexa Toolbar Download link.

You can read the article that I just finished reading. The article that encouraged me to improve my alexa traffic ranking to get into the top 100,000.

I have always had my main site as my default page in both Internet Explorer and FireFox so when I installed the Alexa toolbar I was considered a visitor every time I load my browser.

It will actually help your Alexa ranking by just a bit and every little bit helps.

Note: To get a better Alexa ranking be sure you create unique content instead of duplicating other people’s content.
