Toolbar Significance
In my last entry, I said you should download the Alexa Toolbar. If you didn’t do that yet, here’s where to get it: http://www.alexa.com/site/download
Why should you install it?

Good question…
It has been determined that a higher Alexa score is actually a positive ranking factor for the Google search engine.
With that said, it makes sense to do what you can to increase that score. Here are a few things you can do:
1. Get your readers to install the Alexa Toolbar
2. Implement a procedure in your intern program (if you have one) and get your interns to install the toolbar and visit your website.
I’ve done that in my own intern program. In fact, if you’re interested in following more of my procedures I use in this business, you can join my intern program by following the link to below:

If you use monetiziation ideas by putting ads on your site, better Alexa rank can earn you more money. One service like AdBrite does this.
I’ve also read that if you encourage people to download the toolbar, with a link to do it, it improves your ranking. (They usually download the toolbar and then come back to your site.)
