Skyrocket Alexa: A Fun Experiment

Let’s all use the trick Lord Matt seems to have found for boosting Alexa Rank! Matt has two theories about how to game Alexa. One is that it’s sufficient to redirect a beacon image through Alexa to get rank.

See the blue line shooting up? That’s Matt’s Alexa reach surging on the day he began one of two experiments. If Matt’s “image is enough” theory is correct, and you join me, we can all end up with awesome improvements in our Alexa ranks in a week! So as not to risk adversely affecting Alexa’s servers to function, I plan to add only the first 10 bloggers who join. (I figure 10 blogs is a drop in the bucket compared to the number of blogs with Alexa widgets in their footers! At the same time, it’s enough blogs to let us know for certain whether the image redirection works.)

If you’d like to play, here are the three steps to take:

1. Paste the following code into your blog footer: <center></center>

After you paste the code, this will display in your footer:


2. Upload a small beacon image to your server: I advise creating your own 3px x 3px image in some color you like so you can “see” your image.

   If you can’t create your own image, just download my lime green 3px x 3px image: . ( I’ve enlarged it to make easy to click. The URL is:
   http://money.bigbucksblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/alexasmall.gif )

3. Post the url for your images and your blog in my comments. When I read the comment, I’ll check if you’ve added the code to your blog footer. If you have, I’ll add your beacon image to the Alexa test file. Your image will automatically appear on all participants’ blog footers.

Assuming this works, as soon as I slap your image into the file, your Alexa rank should begin to be boosted by visits to all three of my blogs; mine will be boosted by yours. See the beauty in this?

Anyway, I encourage you to join in any time. To get the largest boost, tell your friends to join: If we can get 10 blogs and watch the Alexa ranks at all 10, I think we’ll really learn something!
