There are many ways advertisers and other people judge a website or a blog. And, Alexa Ranking is one of those ways. Though I am not a fan of it, I still care about it because advertisers do keep Alexa ranking of a site into consideration before they finalize any advertisement deal.
Alexa Rank is generally the traffic rank of a website, so more the traffic and engagement will be on your site, more it will increase. However, there are certain things you can do to improve your blog’s Alexa ranking even faster.
Today, I am here to share a few great ways to boost up your blog’s Alexa traffic ranking. So, let’s look at those ways below:
1. Consistently write and post articles on your blog
Consistency is very important when you think of improving Alexa of your blog. If you post articles on long gaps, your Alexa rank won’t improve faster. In fact, it will go worse.
It’s very important to keep posting articles regularly. The basic logic behind regular posting is when you post every day; you keep getting new visits every day. Suppose your blog is new, and you don’t have much organic traffic to your blog yet.And, you get traffic mostly from blog comments, and social promotion, then if you don’t have new articles how can you get traffic? So, regular posting is indeed important.
Even if you start getting organic traffic, keep the posting schedule consistent as it always sends you some extra traffic to your blog, and that too is quite targeted.
It really helps to boost your site’s Alexa quickly.
