   Congratulations on being way under your 50,000 target! First time commenting on Famous Bloggers and can't wait to share a guest post with you in the near future. My tip for improving Alexa rankings is to ask your readers to recommend you via an Alexa review. Great Post!!

   by posting faithfully unique articles without missing a day since I started bloggin I went from over 3 million down to 700.000 in just 6 weeks. Incredible? Nope; outstanding. This is what fresh and original content can do. Ofcourse we should not ommit to creat backlinks. That's what page rank is made from.

   As I comment on this one, I can see that your alexa rank has reached an astonishing 18,091. Great achievement. I have managed to get 226,613 for www.medicalisland.net, my 7 months medical blog. It seems to be improving by the day and see something on the graph as well. I would love my alexa page reviewed by you. My alexa link is http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/medicalisland.net. I have already reviewed your blog.

   I wrote about my own experience with Alexa in a recent post. http://www.husdal.com/2010/03/18/better-alexa-ranking-how-to/ While a good Alexa ranking undoubtedly can make a nice impression on potential advertisers, it is a flawed and extremely biased ranking system. I believe Quantcast to be much better...at least it counts all the votes, not just Alexa's votes.
5. Onibalusi Bamidele says:
   Your alexa rank is now around 30,000. just that the data is not accurate, a blog with only an average of 80 readers has 60,000 alexa rank while mine with over 200 readers has 300,000. All the same, congratulations.

8. Keith says:
   Congrats to you guys, Since actually started paying attention to my Alexa rank it has gone up by a ton! I find it hard to post on my blog everyday though, I wish I could but I don't want to post just for the sake of posting I want to give my readers link-worthy content even if its only once a week. .-= Keith´s last blog ..How To Improve Your Alexa Ranking =-.
   • Hesham says:
     It's good way of thinking Keith, but you know after some time of blogging I managed how to find tones of ideas that I don't have time to post about them! I hope you will find your way!
9. Alex says:
   I need to work on getting my SEO in order, and posting more and more valuable content. Hopefully, with a bit of social media mixed in, my site will start to rise through the Alexa ranks too! .-= Alex´s last blog ..Will Smith On What It Takes To Be Successful =-.
   • Hesham says:
     This is the right thing to do, I think posting once a day is what you need! mmm getting organic traffic from search engines will take up to three months if you blog is new!

    • Hesham says:
      Maybe because you don't post daily! and you also need some reviews on Alexa!

    Hesham, I started doing those tips about 1 week after I started. I stopped advertising on twitter, to see how big of deal they are and I notice a 7% percent drop in popularity in a 7 day period. After that little test I know how important twitter is and marketing over social media can be. As for posting everyday. I try and post everyday. On the weekends is family time so I rarely get to post anything. On busy weeks I try and write a bunch of posts over the weekend and schedule one for each day (generally after everyone goes to bed). Do you think skipping the weekends or missing a day during the week will matter that much. .-= element321´s last blog ..165 Free High Quality Wallpaper =-.
    • Hesham says:
      You remind me with the Digital Cleanse thing when I stopped using twitter for a few days, it's not a good idea specially if we are talking about a new blog that need lots of work and promotion! Scheduling your posts is a very nice idea, I just prefer to do it by my self for now, but I think is could be possible when I am more often a way from my laptop or the internet in general! You know we talk about posting everyday to ping and notify service that we are active blog, but if you post every 2 or 3 days things will still work for your blog but maybe more slowly! I just think that we should publish a new post everyday or more if we can, So.. Skipping the weekends or missing a day or two will not matter that much if you have organic traffic that fill the lose of traffic where there is any! I just discovered that from my other older blogs that has more than 50% of traffic from search engines!

    Like I've said before, I don't trust and care about a system which mostly relies on voluntary plugin and everyone keeps buzzing about it. There are sites with 4-5 times the traffic of my site and their Alexa ranking is way worse than mine. Progress and traffic is nice, but I would suggest to concentrate on real stats, growing traffic, RSS and email subscribers. My tip for Alexa? Forget it :) .-= Antti Kokkonen´s last blog ..Writing SEO Friendly Blog Posts =-.
    • Uttoran Sen says:
      whatever ever you say Antti Kokkonen, but alexa will still be a very important factor in social blogging, personally alexa ranks doesnot matters to me as well, but some big advertising firms and their advertisers does value it, so saying it completely useless is just not correct... .-= Uttoran Sen´s last blog ..10 Gadgets that Changed the World and Life =-.
      • Antti Kokkonen says:
        Let me rephrase then :) I didn't say it was useless, I said it is not reliable metric of any kind. BUT the fact that advertisers DO value it means that every blogger HAS TO install the plugin/computer on all their browsers and computers, and educate their readers to do the same (even that there is zero benefit for those readers unless they are bloggers/webmasters themselves). .-= Antti Kokkonen´s last blog ..Writing SEO Friendly Blog Posts =-.
        • Uttoran Sen says:
          you are right on that, no external metric can be reliable for that matter... alexa hardly counts the data from their toolbar anymore, they did that in the past when the webmaster blogs used to have great ranks, really good ranks, how many blogs/webmaster-sites have you lately seen under 1000 alexa ranks, 1-2 years back they changed their calculation method and added some other methods, ways to calculate ranks, apart from that toolbar, which they do not disclose... so the alexa toolbar is not the only way to measure stats anymore, so lets give the toolbar thing a little rest...
        • Hesham says:
          LOL! that's funny.. I will prefer to forget about Alexa if I have to put the tool bar everywhere :) I remember your words Antti, but like "Uttoran Sen" says about advertisers I am trying to follow what they are looking for on blogs, just in case some advertisers passed from here :) thanks a lot for giving your opinion, I am a regular reader of your blog as you really inspire me!
    • Latief says:
      I heard about this on blogoshpere bro, alexa using plugin so is possible there's a bias data for the traffic. Is that right? .-= Latief@AnotherBlogger´s last blog ..MMO Social Network Contest Benefits =-.
      • Antti Kokkonen says:
        I only know that my sites Alexa ranking is way better than it should be. There are sites with lots more traffic (based on compete.com or such), but have a lot worse Alexa ranking. I'm using my own site through several computers and all of them have Alexa plugin. Alexa reports I have a lot of traffic from country where I live in, and based on Google Analytics, it's pretty much me alone counting for that traffic. I haven't done this on purpose, just noticed it recently when someone wondered about my Alexa ranking... I'm sure they're improving their algorithms and all that, but I'm guessing their accuracy gets better at below 1000 range if that. .-= Antti Kokkonen´s last blog ..Writing SEO Friendly Blog Posts =-.
        • Latief says:
          Yes, that's what I heard so we can arrange the traffic we need from PC using Alexa plugin. Thanks for the reply .-= Latief@AnotherBlogger´s last blog ..Yahoo! A Community Killer? =-.

16. Ileane says:
    Hi Hesham, My Alexa ranking has increased from 333,430 on 12/29 to 294,578 as of today 1/14. Of course the networking that I have been doing on Twitter and Blog Engage has helped. I think that I also got a nice boost from being Site Of the Day and eventually Site Of the Month for December on Whatawebsite.org. I still have a very long way to go, but I've come so far. Thanks for sharing your stats! @Ileane .-= Ileane´s last blog ..Say Goodbye to Family, Friends and A Good Night’s Sleep! =-.
    • Uttoran Sen says:
      unfortunately Ileane, the subdomain alexa rank is different than on the domains and it does not compete with each other... rather it competes with other subdomain based sites only, however its good to know that its improving :) .-= Uttoran Sen´s last blog ..10 Gadgets that Changed the World and Life =-.
    • Will says:
      Hi ileane, It's really nice/encouraging/motivating to hear that my site has helped a little And hopefully a lot more in the future! (the project is still very much in its infancy & hopefully you'll one day benefit a lot more from being very much involved with it) Cheers Will .-= Will´s last blog ..Beginner Blogger.com =-.

      mmm I don't know Ileane, but I keep wondering when you will move from the WP.com!
