OK Yaro I was just about going through this post. My blog is still 1 week old. Is it wise for me to install the widget now or should I wait until I start getting some traffic.

Thanks for the advice. We’ve now installed the widget on all our pages and we’re currently at about 1 million. Hopefully our charity web portal will now be seen by Alexa and we’ll start seeing an increase of traffic to our free volunteer program.

While this sounds like a “sure thing”, I’m not 100% convinced it will benefit me personally. As the previous commenter indicated it slowed down his site, I don’t want to risk that especially with Google’s new page speed rules.

I know other webmasters check out my Alexa rank to form a decision whether or not to link to my site; if that is their criteria over content, then I don’t think I want to deal with them.

I agree also that by putting the widget on your site does increase your Alexa rankings, but it didn’t feel accurate, My rankings went up from something like 1,500,000 to 600,000 in a matter of 3 or 4 weeks. According to Google analytics I was averaging around 50 unique hits per day. After looking around various forums, I decided that 50 per day was not enough to get me that ranking.

It also slowed down my page loading, which is more important to me at this level. After I removed it, I felt like a crack addict, I wanted to watch my score 3 or 4 times per day; removing the quick link on my site messed with my head for a bit but got used to it.

I do check my rankings once in a while, but to be honest, I have site meter on my site which gives me a more accurate detail of how many visits and pageviews per day. whether I get 80 visits per day, and my Alexa puts me at a rank of 5 million or I get 10 hits per day and Alexa ranks me at 1 million, I no longer care so much about the ranking, just the amount of actual exposure I am getting.

I just registered with Alexa, I also installed the search bar thing for Firefox and installed the button on my blog. My site recently moved to a new domain and my Alexa rank is still unrated – do you have to wait 3 months before a rank appears?

Thanks for the informative post.

I followed the steps on this and hoping to see results as right now I am currently in Alexa rank 2,871,976 and ranked in the U.S of 580,211. I’ll reply back to this in one week as Alexa has just updated there statistics today and will give the results based on installing this widget on my site.

Thanks,

I installed the widget after reading this and my rankings have improved since. I installed it on just one page of my website (the index.htm). Now I’m wondering what the results will be if I place it on every page.
