Right now, my rank is 192,150. Let's see if these tips work.
date: 26/03/07
Rank: 40,456
I've also implemented #9 from Maki's list in my footer, although I'm not too sure about this one:
I did install the Search Status extension though. I'll also add my current stats to the frey...

Let's see where we are in a week.
If they don't use the toolbar then your rank doesn't benefit from those readers.
The redirect thing is to tell Alexa "look, I'm getting traffic!!!" (it doesn't use the toolbar), which only goes to show how dumb the entire Alexa traffic rating system is (much like Technorati rank).
That's why it's an experiement. I guess it's not smart to make all the changes at once though
I have written an article about Alexa - where I encourage folks to us SS or the ATRS
Created an Alexa Category
I have the sidebar widget installed
I will wait a couple of days and implement a few more of DoshDosh's tips...
The only problem is that, in addition to these changes, I'm hopefully building links in which skews the results. But then again, what do I care I'm 601,807!
Let the fun begin!
The 3 month average in the widget doesn't reflect this yet, but it's looking good so far!

As far as following your three suggestions the only thing I really managed was to install the Firefox extension on my home PC. I have not installed it on my work PC yet - I'll definitely be doing that tomorrow. My traffic has been just slightly above average (according to Analytics and SiteMeter) and my posting frequency has been constant. Not too shabby for one week I think.
Then why not put it on the header where we display our blog url will that be useful?
But, my daily average has improved by about 5000 to 17-18k, so the 3mth should catchup soon
Too early to tell to be honest, but my gut tells me yes
I've added the redirect tip to my homepage URL setting in my browsers, and started to comment on blogs using the redirect phrase too. I've also got many more people to start downloading the toolbar for IE and firefox.
So - stats today:
11th April 2007
Rank: 91,105
My post on nofollow and pink boxes was the first, but I have done a few since then as well.
Even my recent post on Blogcatalog included a link to Search Status, and so far in just a few days resulted in 10 clicks through.
If you don't want to write such an extensive post, you can always just link through to others writing about such topics, and eventually half your Firefox using readers will have the plugin.
I added it as an iframe on my page footer and saw no jump when traffic spiked.
The easiest way to increase your Alexa ranking is to use Firefox with the toolbar. All you need is a dynamic IP and lots of time on your hands.
If you check the Alexa numbers for hmtk.com you can see how one person with the toolbar can skew the site rating by thousands of points.

Rank: 264,036
Installed Search Status Plugin
Added the Alexa rank widget
Created an Alexa Category
Wrote an Alexa article (which has been Stumbled today)
Might try one or two of the other suggestions when I get chance, but it's going ok so far.
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks,

Do you have any alternative ranking tool or site that can't be cheated like alexa.com?
I wouldn't call these tips cheating as I don't think that is fair e.g. you wouldn't call the many actions that people take to try and improve their page rank cheating.
Interesting results since I have backed off of comments on other sites like Connected Internet and have not updated content for about 4 weeks.
I noticed an increase of about 100k from March 27th.
We've missed you mate
I keep hearing about ONE MONTH ALEXA RATINGS AVERAGE.
How can you view just one month? I mean instead of three months or latest week?
I have seen a url one time long ago that displayed ONE MONTH AVERAGES.
Thanks,
John
Not sure if the redirect idea will work ... probably it will, but it's too clunkyfor me to play with. What _does_ work though, at least short term ... find a key phrase n your site that Alexa will pull up the site for and Alexa search it a couple times aday ... I use it when Iwant to vie one of my sites for some other reason ... you will like the results
Alexa says this widget does not do anything to improve rankings, and that may be true just on its own, but I believe if you go to Alexa from a site through the widget with a toolbar app installed, it my help. Don't know for sure, would be interested to hear if others have had the same experience, or would be willing to add this to their experiments.
How to improve Alexa Rank. I have do every step that you show in the website, After i check and check... again. But still go up as well as have many people to come to see website.
Please help me.
Thank you

7 "nothing" sites hardly makes an Internet but the results I see certainly show that the Alxexa widget makes a _big_ difference for low traffic, low activity sites. Anybody else got resluts to share?
Today i came across a site AlexaRankTeam dot com which is going to increase the Alexa rankings of your site for some charge.
Can we keep faith on such site who claims for increasing alexa ranking ?
I have contacted them. They said they never failed on this project.
I'm just not sure about redirects: are they necessary if you have w widget on your site?
Thing is- it still doesn't work so well. My rank improved just 1000 points. (with 100,000 being my average rank these days). Odd really considering my server logs indicate daily traffic of 3 to 4 GB
when i started to increase my alexa rank i used the redirect from alexa to my website, and installed the alexa toolbar and would flick through the my pages a few times so alexa know that the pages are there and my alexa increased but that was about 3 months ago and i left it since then and it shot back up again

See: http://www.ourwedding.in
After we put the Alexa Rank display on our homepage, we observe a jump of about 1000% in 3 months !!.
We opine this is much easier rather than tool bar & redirection.
It seemed to work as I dropped to around 17k. How's Crowdstorm going?
Going good - we've had a lot of technical challenges to overcome last year but everything now on track :-)
First my main keyword targeted webpage went from G Page 3 to G Page 1 position 7 and stayed there. Two I noticed an immediate drop from 2Mill to 1 mill in my traffic ranking.
I used a splash page and put it on every traffic exchange I could find. (No adsnese pages). In fact the splash page sold software for $6.99US. I was surprised that I actually made quite a lot of sales (thats another story and my next project) and two I was seeing results in Alexa traffic.
All this came about by installing the widget on my most popular pages. I say it works.
@Terry - would like to hear more about your splash pages.
@Michael - Started putting up articles about two weeks ago, and visiting my own blog from the office and home and clicking once from each location per day on the rank widget.
I have also started to gain a few more visiters, and my rank is up about 210,000 this week.
The splash page is http://www.psychic-aus.com/map
What I did was put the widget on the splash page and if a visitor is interested they click for more info (another widget on that page) even the order form.
I have seen my page views increase since I did this in recent times. I am of course targeting the main url for my experiment following along your lines.
I know the traffic exchange traffic will only be the one IP address A will record but if a user is interested and clicks my further info page then I must be getting a whole new ip address. The beauty about te's is that users are from all over the world and I will be getting a variety of C class recordings (different servers).
by placing the alexa statistics display on the homepage.
