The lower the number is the larger it is popular. According to alexa rank google ranks first, facebook second, youtube third and so on. These sites get thousands of unique pageviews daily so they rank first, second and third. But some sites do get thousand pageviews but their ranking isn't good. So for those people whose alexa ranking isn't improving, here are some tips. These tips comes from my experience and believe it really works.
So here we go:

Traffic

The most important thing for boosting alexa rank is traffic. Without traffic if you implemented other steps also then your site cannot improve. So try getting more and more traffic. The best traffic is the organic traffic that comes from search engines, probably more from google. So index your pages on google very fast. Don't buy traffic and if you wish also then buy unique one !

Alexa Widgets

Alexa provides number of widgets related to traffic rank. Install any one of those in your site. You can see a live example of it in my blog also. You might ask how it will help to boost rank as it doesn't bring visitors. But believe me it helps to connect your site to alexa and provide good ranks. You also can see most of the webmaster have this widget. It is because they also will to boost their rank.

Alexa Toolbar

The most important feature of alexa ranking is that it provide rank according to the number of toolbar available. Before some months i also used to think that it does nothing but before some weeks i found great results. It really matters. So, inform your readers about toolbar. Do the starting of it by downloading it yourself.

Claim/ Review your site

As soon as you start your site sign up for alexa and claim your site. Claiming your site gives more control over your site. If you can then you can certify your site. After certifying your site metrics your ranking will be increasing. Fill up all the information of your site, information, country, region,etc. Fill up all the info. Ask your visitors, friends, relatives, pal, etc to review your site. Reviewing your site makes it to make it closer to Alexa. be sure that they review good not bad.

Update your site

It's strictly recommend that you update your site regularly. Keep on posting articles that are unique and are likely to get impressions. Get more backlinks and comments. Updating your site bounds alexa to rank your site.

So these were the tips that i could give. Hope that your alexa ranking will be good. Implement now as it takes lots of time. No matter how much traffic you get ranking good in alexa takes a long time. So it's better to start your journey from now on.

Make Your Blogger Page Title SEO Friendly

1 Comment

You might have seen the bunch of text appearing at the top your every browser. That is what we called page title. In addition to this it is also the same link that we see on search engines which is clickable. From the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) point of the view it is the most important element of your blog for ranking better in search engines. It is obvious that people might search the hot trending topics like "Cardi B arrested at NYC Strip Club" or something like "Patrik Mahomes vs Broncos", and it's our major focus to get our blog's post at the first page of google search, for which SEO is an essential factor. And further more, making our titles SEO friendly will enhance the search as well as quality of our blog's post.
From this it can be concluded that a page title with high impact keywords ranks good in search engines and ultimately leady to boost our click through. Moreover it also drives some amount of unique traffic to our site. In blogger the page title is made up of blog title and post title. If the title of the post is not mentioned then its title will be the initial words of the posts.
Here is an example of it:

The above example is the search listing for the post having title "Water is colorless but ice made of water is white, why? In the above search listing some keywords (is, white, why?) are missing. Only first keywords are seen and the last few keywords are hidden. This is because of google as it only shows up to 70 characters of the page title in search results page. So whenever the page title exceeds the limit (70 characters) google simply cuts it off and so its victim will have to suffer low rank in search engine's result pages.

Now what will you do ? Whats the solution for it? If it's so then you came to the right place.

The solution for this is simple. The thing that should be done is just reverse the position of blog title and post title. By this post title will be shown in full granting it high priority in comparison to blog title. So here is the explanation of this:

Go to your Blogger Dashboard
Move towards Theme > Edit HTML
Look for the below code using CTRL + F

<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>

Replace the above code with the one below;

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title>
</b:if>

Save your template

After replacing your code, it will replace your Blog's post title as mentioned above.
If you're having any queries regarding it, you can simply ask me !
