Boost Your Alexa Rank With The Alexa Firefox Toolbar
Some question the value of an Alexa ranking, much like they question the value of a Technorati ranking but there is some value to this. Services like ReviewMe! & Text Link Ads use the Alexa rank as part of their algorithms to determine costs of services. Others, like DailyBlogTips use it to calculate blog popularity. Given that Firefox is in heavy use these days the release of the new plugin could cause a sudden surge in Alexa rankings for any number of sites.
If you haven’t already download the Alexa Firefox Toolbar now. There’s been a lot of chatter about it since the release, having just installed it I can say it’s pretty unobtrusive. I don’t even notice it in the taskbar of the browser, if it helps bring traffic in, even a little then what can it hurt? Try it out and tells us what you think.
Does Alexa really provide any real benefit? I hear of increased traffic but really question the longevity of such traffic or the quality of it?
I kinda keep expected Alexa to die off, yet it stays around and people keep referring to it. Maybe there is something I am missing?
I think, they shouldn’t demand you to have the Alexa toolbar installed before completing successfully the installation.
