Anyone reading this blog will know that I am an avid watcher of Alexa ranking, and I discovered that simply by visiting my own sites while running the Alexa Toolbar, I was able to increase their rank.
As the sites rose through the ranks, progress became slower, so that graphs of the rank would have a distinct tailing-off shape.
Over the last few weeks, the ranks have not been updated as regularly as before, and movement has been very slow, moving just a few thousand positions in the space of a month (average of about 400 per day compared with moves of 600,000 per day in the beginning).
I was beginning to lose interest in the ranks of my sites, assuming that they had reached their peak until other Alexa Toolbar users started to view them.
Until today.
Suddenly, there has been a huge jump on all of my sites, averaging about 75,000 per day since the last update. One site, which until today was listed as "No data" (which means a rank of greater than 10 million) came in at an incredible 4,218,030 - a jump of over 5.75 million places.
Two of my sites now have a rank of less than 2 million (the highest being 1,892,795).
My target still remains sub-200,000, so there's still a way to go, but it's now all looking possible.
So my interest in Alexa ranking has increased again.
(until it starts to drag its heels again)
