What is your Alexa Rank? Currently mine is 532,913. It has improved 60,000 the last week alone, all I did was to install the Alexa extension in Firefox and Flock.

David Airey has written two articles with some great insights and references to many informative posts. For instance DoshDosh and Andy Beard. Alexa Rank – What is it all about and How I improved my Alexa Rank.

For your convenience I have gathered seven of the best tips here:

1. Download the Alexa toolbar and use it every day to visit your own and my website. If you are a Firefox or Flock-user, download the Search Status extension. Alexa even gives you the ability to co-brand the toolbar with your own logo and give it away. You can expect a Petersen Inc Toolbar soon. Download the Alexa toolbar here: http://pages.alexa.com/prod_serv/associatetoolbar.htm
2. Use the Alexa widget on your site. I’ve added mine in the sidebar. I picked the basic one, but you can customise it with graphs, links in and reviews.
3. Review and rate my Alexa profile. Get a friend or reader to review your Alexa profile.
4. Get dugg or stumbled. From time to time I get some traffic from StumbleUpon. I would love to get more, so please stumble this if you like it.
5. Get listed on as many search engines as possible by placing a free listing in DMOZ. This is the largest human edited directory on the web and has all the categories you can think of.
6. Write your own site reviews of the Top100 sites on Alexa.
7. Some say you should use http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?petersen-inc.dk whereever possible. I think it looks cheap and noobish. I see a lot of these links on MyBlogLog and similar sites. I am not going to use that kind of linking.

Now as previously mentioned my current Alexa ranking is: 532,913. Let us see how it develops the next two weeks.

Update: It has already improved again to 442,280!
