If you’ve ever been interested in the blackhat, albeit rather pointless art of artificially increasing your Alexa count, here’s a method that our local internet marketing buddy dropped in to teach us. Take in away David!
And it’s as freakin’ simple as that (remove spaces from inbetween tags). Everyone who visits the page where the iframe is embedded counts (in the eyes ofAlexa) as an Alexa toolbar hit. But why stop there when there are so many more ways to game the system? Blackhat as hell? Sure, but if everyone BESIDES you is doing it, it’s nothing more than the industry standard.
The iFrame may slow down loading times slightly, so place it right at the end of your “body” tag as to not cause content loading delays. The pixel height and width are set at 1×1 in order to make the frame practically invisible as not to arouse suspicion or generate interest as to what the little box is doing there. Only somebody viewing your source code should notice it. You’d be surprised at how many of the high-rank sites on Alexa are using the tactic.
THE SECOND AVENUE – Proxy Scripts.
Go and visit a gazillion-and-one proxies using the Alexa toolbar. Waste an afternoon doing crappy manual labor, constant refreshing and trawling through proxy lists. But WHY? Using proxy scripts that retail for $10-$40, you can get little pieces of software which load up lists of proxies and bombard Alexa on autopilot.
I’m testing out five or six of these little applications on my desktop right now as I type this and over the past few days I’ve seen spikes as high as 60,000 on one of the site’s I’m testing. Was I to run the scripts non-stop, 24 hours a day I’m sure that I could quite easily bump this up to 30 or even 20,000.
I won’t be naming names of software used for the purpose of testing here, however a few well-planned Google searches should hand you all you need. Make sure to only purchase software product that offer a moneyback guarantee as I can attest to the fact that around 60% of the programs I tried didn’t work at all. Perhaps once upon a time, but algorithms change… baby!
THE THIRD ADVANCE – Redirection.
Using the meta-tag code for your pages on your site, you can effectively route any visitors through the Alexa link and then back onto your site. Quite simply – how? Glad you asked… After the title tag in your “head” section, just put in this code.
< META http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0;URL= http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.YOURSITEHERE.com/” >
This can be done in a variety of different ways, including using JavaScript, an embedded flash application (not recommended in event of visitor not having required components installed) or through cookies. I prefer the meta approach to it’s simplicity. It works in the same way as the iFrame assault, apart from instead of opening an embedded hidden window, the whole browser re-directs through the alexa linkback. You can use it in tandem with the iFrame tactic for a double-whammy on Alexa. All you need to do is feed in a tonne of proxy traffic and you just generated yourself one helluva ranking.
Trust me. It works. That said, there honestly is NO need to artificially boost your Alexa rank. It has NO value at all. It’s a fun little tool that webmasters look at when they right blog posts to slag off their competition. It’s an annoying little graph that changes sporadically and unexpectedly, giving you spikes on low-traffic days and flat lines on some of the busiest traffic days you come to see. It’s an infuriating “tracking” program that at the best of times fails you outright.
Alexa is worthless, and Amazon will love me for saying it. Take the rankings and ratings with a grain of salt and try only to use it when showing how your superior blackhat gaming skills are getting you rocket-fuel chart positions in comparison to your brother-in-law’s measley 9,455,234 score. Muhahahaha!
Alexa just got MAULED. Use these tactics at your own risk.
Winning The Alexa War
If you’ve ever been interested in the blackhat, albeit rather pointless art of artificially increasing your Alexa count, here’s a method that our local internet marketing buddy dropped in to teach us. Take in away David!
THE FIRST APPROACH – iFrames.
< iframe src=”http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.YOURSITEHERE.com“ width=”1” height=1” >< /iframe >
