Here is something funny. When I was in Brazil, my laptop caused a certain movement for the national alexa rank of brazil, yet when i went to Poland last week and installed Alexa on two Linux computers in my hostel and put my page as the Firefox's second tab start page (to not bother anyone with it) NOTHING happened. I did not see an increase in the Alexa rank, much less see any rank for Poland. I have been to Poland from the 22-28th of November. It should have taken effect already. Any ideas on what could be the reason for both SPARKY (Firefox 2) and SearchStatus (Firefox 1.5) not to work? Only thing I can think of is that I was not administrator of the LINUX PC. Yet I had no trouble installing the FF-Addon. Actually I have no good explanation. Maybe anyone here made similar experiences? Hi,

Especially when trying to check the quality of all the sites we are linking out to for our clients websites. Knowing the value of a page without having to do the searching through the listing myself is a great timesaver. That little tool is quite handy.

You'll see the biggest leaps in rank at the start. It's really not difficult to get into the top 1M at least, and I notice you're into the 3M numbers already. Good of you to stop by. Thanks Eric.

So by reading tips like this I can improve my rankings as well. I just installed the toolbar, told my friends about it and I've seen my Alexa rank, come from 8million to 4 million in 1,5 weeks :-) Going to promote this a bit further with some other friends and myebe friends, friends. If traffic stagnates, I'll install the widget then and keep you posted if it realy makes a difference. Also rank on Alexa and Technorati is considered valuable to most publisher programs, so needed if you want to moneytize Great post! I just started a blog i hope to moneytize in the future.

I have thought about using post excerpts, but because I only post once per day I prefer to limit the amount of clicks the reader needs to make. Hi Steven,

I do use excerpts on my blog, but I do it as much for visual reasons as for increasing pageviews. I haven’t paid too much attention to Alexa rank recently, but thanks for the ideas.

Don't forget to adjust your TLA price once you've sold all your inventory so that the new price reflects your new Alexa rank. 40,083 - good work, David!
