Is Alexa Ranking Important? How to Improve Alexa?

Alexa ranking was previously considered essential for Search Engine Optimization by small-scale web business managers. Especially web market managers who wanted to promote their site often saw it desirable to have great Alexa ranking along with high Google page ranks. For Alexa ranking, lower is better, but for Google page rank higher was better (from 0 to 10).

But those days are gone. Google nowadays do not give you a Page rank. But still Alexa page rank is there. From their former simple analytics reports, the Amazon-owned company has become a full SEO solution. Their actionable analytics now offers 7 days free trial for services and tools as listed below:

Competitive Intelligence
Audience Overlap Tool
Competitor Keyword Matrix
Keyword Difficulty Tool
On-Page SEO Checker
SEO Audit

But, still some small-scale business owners ask their SEO executives to try for uplifted Alexa ranking. Because they use good ranking as a measure to list out in their checklist while talking with their customers.

So, how can we get our Alexa ranking improved? One thing that makes Alexa ranking totally unreliable is that it does not give much importance to the web content and quality. It depends on only the data from the computers or devices in which the toolbar is installed. The same thing makes it easy to manipulate.

So, what we do to get good Alexa ranking?

The traditional methods of removing backgrounds of images in PowerPoint 2007 version have become obsolete now with the advent of the innovative background removal tool in the 2010 version. But since what the proverb reminds us is being late is better than being never’, I decided to post a small tip, using which we can make the background removal in 2007 version a little bit finer with the application of MS Paint.
