10 Free Alexa Tips
Below you will find a list of 10 free Alexa tips and tricks to utilize
this great site.
You might be asking you self "What is Alexa?" This happens to be a
great question. Alexa is a web search engine that also collects
historical data
about your web site and its visitors. It is another gauge on website
popularity. Installing the toolbar is highly recommended and by
visiting your own
site you will in turn increase your Alexa rating. You should also have
as many people you know install this as well so that when they visit
your site Alexa credits your site with the visit.
Install The Toolbar
How to show up in another website's related links
By suggesting other links for your website, that causes them also to be considered
related links to other websites. To suggest related links for your own website, use the
Suggestion Tool.
How to update the thumbnail image Alexa has for your site

your domain to the end of this URL:
How to see website traffic across non-standard date-ranges
Alexa typically allows you to view 4 different default date spans:
3 Months
6 Months
1 Year
2 Years
By manipulating the URL directly, you can modify that to whatever
you want, down to 2 days or all the way up to 4 years.
To do this, simply go to the graph you want to see using one of Alexa's
default time spans, and then modify the part of the URL that looks like this:
traffic_details?&range=3m
In this range parameter, "d" = day, "m" = month and "y" = year.
Replacing "&range=3m" with "&range=8d" will cause the graph to span for 8 days.
How to get included in Alexa's hierarchical directory
Alexa's directory is powered by the Open Directory Project.
To be included in the directory, go to the DMOZ Directory
and submit your site. A human editor will review your site and place
it in the proper category.
Once that's done, it will automatically be picked up by Alexa.
How to remove the Alexa toolbar from your browser
Alexa offers two help pages to assist you in removing the toolbar:
Many people feel more comfortable to use a spyware removal tool that has Alexa-removal capabilities.

The DMOZ Directory is also used by Google which downloads it and calls it (as you'd expect) the Google Directory so it is twice as important getting listed there because you will get three links from three highly respected sites: 1. DMOZ 2. Alexa Directory 3. Google Directory - however DMOZ is suffering with a lack of editors and manpower and, depending on the category, it can anything from three months to a year and a half to get listed. If your site is rejected they will not tell you so you will need, after nine months, to simply submit again.

VideosZ offers Two different webmaster programs to choose from
:
60% RevShare - earn 60% of all the sales and rebills your
traffic generates!
$35 per Signup
VideosZ pays you $50 Per Signup on EVERY Wednesday! That's
right, on every wednesday, instead of $35 per signup, we'll pay you
$50.
If you're using the 60% RevShare program, we're paying you $35 per
signup instead of $18.
We pay you $150 per every active webmaster you refer to the
VideosZ Webmaster Program.
VideosZ is a one-of-a-kind site, with no adult sites like it on the Internet.
VideosZ is the first adult website providing a collection of downloadable clips
from DVDs with a single membership. As we're sure you realize, original sites
such as VideosZ are much more profitable than regular 3-tour-page paysites.
VideosZ is easier to promote and offers better ratios, both per signup and per
unique visitor. Moreover, we supply you with original promotional tools that are
listed and explained further on this page. We understand the webmasters are
searching for new sponsors who provide the best and as many promotional tools as
possible. That's what we've done at VideosZ!
We believe the best business model for a webmaster program is a
recurring one, because it's the best way to build your business over time. Since
you earn 60% of all the sales and rebills you generate, you continue to be paid
for all the members you bring to VideosZ. We update VideosZ every day with at
least 2 or 3 new DVDs, so our members never get bored, which is one of the main
reasons our average retention rate is over 65%. With that kind of retention your
income grows exponentially over time, and you can be sure of your revenues in
the future. VideosZ uses the biggest and best billers in the business, as well
as our own merchant account, to secure financial stability in an industry that
has been unstable in the past.
With VideosZ you can expect amazingly low ratios and amazingly high
rebill rates to generate a growing and stable income! Feel free to contact us if
you need anything or have any questions. We're here to help make your webmaster
job as easy as possible - you can get friendly support over ICQ/MSN/AIM/EMAIL 24
a day, everyday.
We pay via Wire Transfers, Checks (postal or FedEx) and
ePassporte.

Do many people actually work towards Alexa recognition? I've never bothered with anything that is based solely on tool bar results, as the audience is too limited.

Exactly, and that's the problem. It means that your audience is limited to the techy types or types that are willing to install the toolbar. I am not one of those people...

The latest version of Windows Defender thinks that Alexa is a trojan, talk about false positives, unless, that is, Alexa has REALLY changed what they do. ----------------------------------- pandreson

The idea behind natural-language queries is that you can type a
question in the same way you would ask it to a human sitting beside you
-- no need to keep track of Boolean operators or complex query
structures. The most popular natural language query site today is AskJeeves.com. ---------- smithsan < http-equiv="Content-" content="text/; charset=utf-8">< name="ProgId" content="Word.">< name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 10">< name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 10">
