Is It Really Important To Be In Alexa Top 100000?

Is It Important To Be In Alexa Top 100000? It is important to want to be!

There are many different opinions floating around on the web whether it is important to want to have an Alexa rank under 100,000 with compelling arguments from both sides. I personally think it is very important. The naysayers say that Alexa rank can be manipulated by bots. This may be true. I personally do not know. What I do know is this. If you set a goal to get into the top 100000 on Alexa then you have set a goal. Many people would love to be on that list. If you are serious about your goal you will find ways to add content and value to your site. This naturally will increase your Alexa ranking. Once you have broken the 100000 goal the next think you will do is re-evaluate your goals. Perhaps you want to be ranked in Alexa’s top 50000 sites or perhaps even 10000 sites if you dream big!

If you want it bad enough and you are excited about it, the law of attraction will kick in and you will get there.

Here are a few tips on how to get into Alexa’s top 100000.

1. Install the Alexa toolbar (very important).
2. Blog about Alexa.
3. Add an Alexa rank widget to your site.
4. Join social networks.
5. Become very familiar with Facebook, Twitter, Digg and Stumble Upon.

Easy Way To Get To Number One In Google

Easy Way To Get To Number One In Google.

Getting to number one in Google is much easier than you might think. If this were a post on Dwerps and you were to google the term Dwerps you would see that at the time of this writing I would be listed as number 1. Go ahead and google Dwerps now and see if i’m there. The trick is how do you get to number one in the category you want to be found in.

1. Your title is everything. Say you are blogging about your trip to Africa. If you title your blog My trip to Africa, no one is going to find it. Make the title more specific. A better title is “African Safari in Senegal.” Now you are talking about specifically where your Safari took place and what you were doing in Africa. Now people thinking of going to Africa on Safari in Senegal will come across your blog and it will get more traffic.

2. Include a lot of text in your blog or website. Google is very fond of text. If your landing page has just a few words written on it then it may appear to Google that the page is not important. That is not an easy way to get to number one on Google.

3. Make sure your content is unique and specific to what it is you are known for. If you are selling photo equipment then you should talk about photo equipment on your website. Google cannot read pictures so for a photographic website or a website that has a lot of pictures on it you will need to include a lot of text.

Getting to number one is easy on Google. Getting to number one on Google in the category you want is a little harder. Think about the titles of what your posting and then go after your target audience. You will have to have a lot of content and many posts to drive a lot of traffic to your blog or website. Start writing now. You may get there faster than you think.

What to do after reaching 5,000 Facebook Friends Limit
