Alexa Experiment

Share
Ok, I can rant and show that the Alexa rating is just a step above reading a horoscope. But it is believed in enough to be a factor to some online businesses. So let's see if I can 'game' my score, that is, improve it through my direct efforts. At the moment, Alexa rates this blog at 1,025,188. In other words, Alexa thinks there are over a million blogs with better traffic. Possibly. I track the number of visitors and repeat visits. Compared to my other blog, this one has more traffic. Yet, my other site, "Life Under Construction", has a rating of 70.

So to improve this blog's rating, I have done the following:
1) added an Alexa widget to this page,
2) added a search extension to my Firefox browser, at home and at work. As I visit my page once a day, Alexa will register my hit.

Let the *gaming* begin!
