The Alexa Rank and Blog Traffic

Besides the PageRank, Alexa Rank or Alexa Traffic Rank is another topic that is always discussed in the bloggers and webmasters discussions. In contrast to the PageRank that is determined by the amount and quality of backlinks, Alexa Rank is calculated based on the number of visits to a website or blog. Alexa ranking, also counted the number of pages viewed on a visit to your blog or site. So, it can be said that Alexa Rank is about the blog traffic.

For some web or blog owners who dont make their website or blog to earn money on the internet, sometimes Alexa Rank is not too calculated. But for those who aim contrary, Alexa Rank will be very influential. It's easy to understand, because many affiliate programs use the Alexa Rank as a measure to approve a blog or website.

In contrast to the PageRank rates system, Alexa Rank uses the order of the most visited sites with the number 1 leading to fewer visited sites with numbering could reach 20 millions. Can be expected, that Google was the highest site on the system of Alexa Rank, which is number one. While yahoo in the second position, followed by youtube (4), MSN (6), Blogger.com (8), and amazon.com (28).

While the other blogs and websites will race to have a smaller number of the Alexa Rank . Usually, the numbers below 1 million are the first goal. After that, the numbers under 500 thousand. And if a blog or site has a number of Alexa Rank under 100 thousand, then the blog or website has become popular enough. Various promotional efforts will be made to reach it. The lower number of the Alexa Rank that owned by a blog or site, will makes the adverstisers interested to advertisements their product on its blogs.

Getting more Traffic through Anchor Text on the Comment Box

When you do blogwalking, went to another blog, I'm sure you often leave your comments. But, did you know that using your Name & Url in your profile will be better than directly using your google account profile ?. This will help you get more traffic and even more backlink.Usually, we directly use the google account, so that when the comment is displayed, it will look like this:

DD Premyos

And if a visitor clicks on this link, they will be brought to the page of your google account, not to the page of your blog. If you choose to use the Name & Url, you can use as the anchor text. As I have been writing, using the anchor text has many advantages, among others to attract visitors to your blog, as well as one of SEO , that is to get backlink.

Example:

In the names box: SEO Review
In the URL box: http://seo-cyber.blogspot.com/

So, when your comment is displayed, it will look like this:

SEO Review

However, write a few keywords from the title of your article, would be more effective to invite traffic. Of course, if you write interesting title of your article. Or, you can also change the title with some of the more interesting words.

Example:
Suppose that you have a post that titled as "Making a SEO Friendly title"
So, you can write like this:

In the name box: Making a SEO Friendly title
In the URL box: http://seo-cyber.blogspot.com/2009/07/making-seo-friendly-title.html

So, when your comment is displayed, it will look like this:

Making a SEO Friendly title

If you intended to get the traffic, then bothway will be more effective. But the second ways will be more useful, because the text "Make Up Tips That SEO Friendly" would attract more attention. Both ways can also be used to get a backlink. Of course, if you make sure that the blogs that you have commented is "Do Follow".

Anchor Text to get backlink and increase traffic.

It is certain, that all of you really want to get more backlink. According to the webmasters, backlink can improve the quality of your blog or site PageRank. In other words, the backlink will make a lot of sites have important place in the pages of Search Engine Result Page (SERP).

Many tips can be found about the backlink, which says that a SEO friendly backlink should using the means text, not only the URL that is not understood. In other words, a good backlink could be create by leaving the anchor text with keywords that you want. The anchor text that you make, in other side will legible by search engines, and strengthen the position of your blog in the SERP, also will attract visitors to visit your blog.

Following are some ways to make the anchor text.

First, you can create Anchor Text with your Blog title directly.
This can be done with the assumption that the anchor text is a keyword you want. For example if you create a blog with the title "SEO Review" then a good backlink to use is the word "SEO Review" directly. To create a backlink with anchor text like that you can use the HTML code like this:

<a href="http://seo-cyber.blogspot.com" title="SEO Cyber"> Cyber SEO </a>

So that the anchor text that you create will appear like this:

SEO Cyber

Or, you can use the second method,
This should be done if you feel that the blog title you want, is not represented by your blog address. As I do on this blog. For example if you create a blog with the title "SEO Review", but the blog address is http://seo-cyber.blogspot.com, then you can make the anchor text with your HTML code like this:

<a href="http://seo-cyber.blogspot.com" title="SEO Review"> SEO Review </ a>

So that the anchor text that you create will appear like this:

SEO Review

Remember, that this second way does not do better than the first. Matching blogs address and the blog title has a more important place in the Search Engine.

If you doubt, then you should do third ways:
The URL namely by taking one of your articles title, not the blog URL. You can make the anchor text with your HTML code like this:

<a href = "http://seo-cyber.blogspot.com/2009/07/making-seo-friendly-title.html" title = "Making SEO Fiendly Title"> Making SEO Fiendly Title </ a>

So that the anchor text that you create will appear like this:

Making SEO Fiendly Title

This third way, also does not do better than the first and second, if you want to make your blog title recognized by Search engine. But the third way will be more effective to increase the traffic, because you can make visitors feel curious about the anchor text is. Of course, if you create an interesting title of the article. By clicking on the anchor text, the visitor will be taken directly to the page related to your blog.

That’s all. Happy Blogging.
