If you observe something blogs related to Internet Marketing have an awesome alexa even though they have less traffic.The reason is pretty much simple and straight forward i.e traffic from bloggers.So if you write articles related to Blogging ,SEO and Internet Marketing then you will get good traffic from bloggers thereby boosting alexa.

Participate in Discussion on Social Media:

These days everyone is on social media especially bloggers and web masters.When coming to social media the best networks I recommend to boost alexa are Facebook , Google Plus ,Triberr etc.
  • Facebook:The best social networking site today.Almost everyone is on Facebook Today especially Bloggers.Facebook is not only place to chit chat with friends but its a place to share and gain knowledge if you use it properly.Previously people used to live a life in the real world.But now people are living a life on Internet i.e on Facebook.Now all you have to do is join groups on Facebook related to Blogging,Internet Marketing and SEO.Then participate in discussions.Don't spam the groups because the admins are very strict and will ban you permanently.When you participate in active discussion you can give one of your blog posts as reference to solve the issue of the people.In this way you can drive targeted traffic which will boost alexa rank super fast.
I am part of many Internet Marketing groups and very active on Facebook and Google Plus.Be active on these social media sites if you are not.

Write Reviews about Alexa:

After reading this point I am sure many of the people will rush to your blog to write articles related to alexa and how to improve alexa ranking.
Yes go ahead and write articles related to Alexa. Because people who search for alexa should already have installed alexa toolbar on their browser so those visits will supercharge your ranking.You will notice an abnormal increase in alexa rank once you write posts about alexa.

Take Active Participation in Forums: 

Not all forums can help you in boosting alexa.Only few specific forums that are related to Internet Marketing Niche can help you.Some of the examples of such forums include Warrior Forums ,Digital Point Forum ,Black Hat World etc.Take active participation in forum and link back to your blog in signature.

Comment on Comment Luv Enabled Blogs:

This comment luv is enabled on only few blogs that too blogs belonging to internet marketing niche.So if you are the first to comment on posts of those blogs with comment luv then you will get 20% of traffic back to your blog who visits those posts.So highly targeted free traffic.

Use Fake Methods:

Now I wont be writing much about the fake methods here as I have already wrote a article on Step by Step Guide to Boost Alexa Rank with Fake Methods.

In a Nutshell:

  • Do whatever you can in such a way that you get traffic from bloggers and webmasters.Only such traffic can boost your alexa ranking super fast.

Boost your Alexa Rank with AlexaBoostUp -Fake Method

So I have already discussed many methods to increase Alexa Rank of your Blog/Websites previously but
never revealed some fake methods using which you can boost alexa in no time.The reason was there was no good service that automates the process.Most of the services were not perfect and some fake methods were very complicated and the results were not guaranteed.
Recently I found a website called AlexaBoostup and tested it if its working well with split testing and found that its working perfect.

 To know more about Alexa do check the following Tutorials: 

Alexaboostup offers a auto surfer which makes the process completely automated.Follow the below simple steps to get started.

How AlexaBoostUp Works:

Basically using this service you have to visit other websites and they will visit back your website using Auto Surfer.The visitors must install alexa toolbar on their browser so their visits will be counted by alexa.The process is very simple yet very powerful to boost alexa ranking.
  • Once you signup for an account you will see a dashboard.Enter your website url .They allow you to enter any url it might be the homepage or any internal page.

How to Earn Points? 

  • Just open Launch Auto Surfer and it will automatically visit others websites and earn points.
  • The same points will be used to get visits from other users.
  • The process is very transparent and you can track the number of visitors you get right from their dashboard.
  • If you need more points then you can also purchase points right from their dashboard for very affordable price.I highly recommend this option when you want to boost alexa super fast.

Does this Really Work?

Yes its working and tested by me personally.But I am not sure how long this service will remain because alexa can blacklist this traffic anytime when they notice this.However I will notify you if there are any changes in the service.

Top Online Education Resources for Teachers

Learning does not stop when we graduate college or finish a higher degree. It doesn’t stop even after one becomes a teacher. As a teacher, you will have to keep yourself updated of all the changes and new things being introduced in your field. Another challenge that teachers face is that they have to adapt to the new methods of teaching that are being introduced. One easy way of learning and helping the students to learn is online education.
As more and more schools are trying to include it as a part of their curriculum, it is necessary for the teachers to find a resource which gives them the lessons handy whenever they need. Teachers must be very careful when they choose the resources from which their students would learn. A resource which doesn’t have all the necessary content for the students will be ineffective.

Teachers should also take care that the resources are not too difficult for the students to understand. It is a widely known fact that the level and standard of skills and knowledge of the students depend on the source of their education. It is the responsibility of the teachers and the school to choose the right resource from which the teachers can learn from and also guide their students to. Another criteria to choose the best online education resource is the flexibility of the lessons. You must be able to flexibly use the content according to your lesson plans and syllabus. A good online education resource is always flexible. Below are three online education resources where you can brush up your knowledge and also consider the content for your classes.

PBS Learning Media

PBS learning media brings to you a whole new world of education materials in different areas. You get access to content on different subjects on PBS Learning Media. Plus, you can find resources which teach the concepts to students in a creative way they can understand. You can find materials which would be useful for your learning, too. Also, you will be able to connect with other teachers online which will give you a lot of information on how other teachers are handling their tasks. It is also a good platform for knowledge sharing for teachers. The students also have a lot of content they can benefit from. You can create class accounts using which the whole class can have a record of what they have learned. Also, the content is categorized based on the grade levels, so that you would find the right content for your class easily. With so many advantages, PBS Learning Media is definitely a go-to place for all types of online education.

Discovery Education

Discovery Education is one of the best education resources. You can find lessons explained to the minute detail and so you will be having a good time teaching them to your class. There are a lot of lessons on how to apply science to the day-to-day life. The lesson plans are clear and you can also customize them based on the way you prefer to teach your students. Another reason why Discovery Education stands out is that the content is updated regularly and so you always get access to fresh content. There are also a lot of additional resources for things the students will have to know about and those that do not come under the syllabus. Explore Discovery Education to get to learn a lot of things which the textbooks do not teach. Also you can make it interesting for the students to learn the subject using the creative ways explained in the lesson plans.

BBC

BBC is another excellent platform which gives you various lessons for different subjects. It is widely popular among teachers for its flexibility and the content. Though you might not find separate lesson plans for your location, you can still benefit from the lessons as they are mostly suitable for the curriculum followed in any location. There are a lot of resources which help the students test their knowledge and find out areas which they have to learn more. This could be more helpful to them especially before they take up exams, because they can not only learn what areas they have to improve but also quickly prepare themselves to face the exams with confidence. The lesson plans are very easy to follow and at the same time very interesting for the students to follow. BBC also provides a lot of videos which you can play for your students to make your class more interesting.
These are some of the resources which educate both the teachers and the students. Make use of them to get the right lessons for your class and engage your students in different and interesting ways of learning. As a teacher, it is your responsibility to guide your students to good learning resources. Also, you have the need to keep yourself updated. You can achieve both of these by making use of these outstanding resources.

Alexa.com Pro Membership Upgrade Review-Is it Really Worth?

Every Blogger/Web Master know the importance of Alexa Rank to drive more advertisers to their websites/blogs these days.For a profitable blogging you must have a good Alexa Rank.Alexa has a pro upgrade since many years but recently they are encouraging many bloggers to upgrade for Pro Membership to take full advantage of accurate site metrics and good Alexa Rank.
To test the Alexa Pro features I stepped forward and upgraded for PRO.I think I am one of the very few people on the whole internet who dared and stepped forward to upgrade for pro membership.But after few days I realized that upgrading for pro is not a good option for me  because there was a huge drop in my alexa rank recently.However it was fixed later after contacting with alexa support.

What is Alexa Pro? 

As you know Alexa is owned by Amazon which ranks every website based on some of their ranking algorithms.Alexa Pro is upgrade to alexa free membership.Which costs $9.99 per month.They are also offering one month free trial for new customers.Pro members can have some advantages over free members like Certified site metrics,Custom Logo,Custom Ranking system which we will be discussing in details further in the article.

Some Unique Features for Alexa Pro Members:

Once you upgrade for Alea Pro Membership they offer some new features like Certified Site Metrics,Custom Logo,Two Dofollow Links with Targeted keywords on your Alexa Info Page and monthly site audits.
Alexa Site Info of a Page After Upgrading for PRO Membership
As you can see from the above image they offer some cool features for pro members but the question is are they really worth it? Read on.....
If you are upgrading for pro with an intention to increase alexa rank then it doesn't show fruitful results in all cases but it helps for some.

Who Should Upgrade to Alexa PRO?

If your blog is Tech Niche or Internet Marketing niche and already has a good alexa rank then I strictly recommend you not to upgrade for alexa pro.
After you have upgraded for pro you will be given a piece of code to install on to your blog/website.This code tracks the number of visitors your website gets.Generally alexa calculates the number of visitors a website gets on the basis of toolbar information.But once you upgraded for pro they measure your number of visitors accurately and rank your blog on the basis of those visitors.For high traffic blogs this is a good thing but for blogs with low traffic pro membership results are very much negative.

  • If your site has less traffic and has an awesome alexa rank then stay away.Never upgrade to alexa pro.
  • If your site is getting high traffic like 50,000 to 100,000 visitors per day still has a low alexa rank then I strongly recommend you to upgrade to alexa pro.

My Final Conclusion:

Alexa pro upgrade shows fruitful results for high traffic blogs which are having low alexa rank but its not at all recommended to upgrade for pro if your blog already has a good alexa rank, instead follow the tips which I already wrote on how to increase alexa rank.

Reasons for Sudden Drop of our Alexa Rank -Bitter Truth

If you have been following my blog since few months then you might know that we had an blossom Alexa Rank around 18,000 and was increasing at a faster rate day by day.
Suddenly on June 30th 2012 Alexa Rank updated with a shocking figure 198,467.Directly from 18,000 to 198,467 which was not at all acceptable and it was clear that something has went wrong.
Update:Finally alexa people fixed my ranking and brought it back to normal.Feeling relieved.Thanks for your support friends.

Then I checked if it was only me who was affected with this ranking drop or others as well.I was amused to see that only my blog ranking went down whereas all others alexa ranking was just fine.This moment was very very embarrassing and I was surprised to see why this happened only to me as I haven't done anything wrong.
Alexa Traffic Stats that were captured few months back

Did the Traffic Decrease?

After confirming with other bloggers that it was only my blog which was effected and all other blogs rankings were just fine,then I checked if my traffic was normal or not.
  • As I expected the traffic was completely normal and more than the before day.You can check the traffic details from the below screenshot.
Full Traffic Report
Again people starting speculating that I was getting more referral traffic for giveaway and organic traffic has decreased , so people were speculating this has caused a ranking downfall.
  • The speculation is completely wrong.The fact that I was getting more referral traffic is true but the organic traffic was the same as you can see from the below screenshot.
organic traffic
From the above screenshots its clear that its not the traffic fluctuation that has caused the ranking fall and its definitely some issue from Alexa which triggered the ranking downfall.

Contacted Alexa Support:

Then I decided to contact Alexa Support through their contact form.I had to wait for about 24 hours to get an reply from them.Finally I got reply as follows.
Hello,  When your site's metrics are certified you can choose to base your site's rank on the directly-measured certified metrics in order to get a more accurate ranking of your website. You chose to base your site's rank on Certified Metrics and that is why your rank dropped from 18,000 to 198,497.
In some cases, your new rank will be better than your old rank and in some cases worse. The Alexa Rank compares your website against every other site in the world based on the number of visitors and pageviews to your site. If you choose to use Certified metrics to rank your site then the visitors and pageviews are measured directly from your website. If you don't use certified metrics to rank your site, then the visitors and pageviews are estimated based on data from our panel of toolbar users. Your rank may move up or down depending on how close the estimates were to the directly-measured metrics.
Do the directly-measured metrics for your site seem low? You can view the metrics on your Dashboard and Site Metrics Overview pages.
You can choose whether or not you would like to have your rank based on your Certified metrics by: 
1. Logging in to your Dashboard at http://www.alexa.com/pro/dashboard
2. Clicking on the ‘Site Management' dropdown under your URL
3. Selecting Configure Metrics Display
4. Checking or unchecking the "Use Certified Metrics to rank my site" checkbox
5. Pressing Save Changes

What does the above reply mean?

The support said that as I am using certified site metrics so my ranking will be calculated on the basis of my site metrics instead of their usual algorithm which is taken from toolbar.That means PRO members have a different algorithm to rank their websites and free users will be judged completely on different algorithm basis.
Their way of ranking which they expressed completely sucks.Its atleast acceptable if they were in the favor of PRO members to get more memberships but that's not the case as you have seen above.

Conclusion: 

As a consequence I have cancelled my PRO membership and requested them to revert back my alexa rank to normal, which I think not going to happen.Anyways its not difficult for me to bring back my alexa rank to normal but it was a very bad experience with Alexa Ranking System.
Suggestion to Bloggers and Webmasters: Never upgrade to Alexa Pro Membership.It really sucks.
