The alexa company has come up with one very effective toolbar that can easily be integrated into your browser which you can use anytime to know the ranking of the websites and the blogs you are visiting and also the traffic emerging on those website and blogs.
Usually what happens is that you download some software,install it and then never use it again.It gets lost behind various other things in your PC which you find more interesting.Keeping this thing in mind,the company came up with a toolbar that can easily be integrated into your browser so that it always remains in front of your eyes and you use it whenever you want.
Now you might be wondering,how this toolbar will bring the traffic to your blog/website.So,I must clear you that its not a magic wand which you will rotate and get your work done.But alexa toolbar provokes you to go for the best by giving you the real time data for your blog/website.Without any such tool,you would totally be unaware how your blog/website ranking on the search engines is varying.If you are unaware of exactly how the search engines work and what website ranking is all about,you can read it here.Reading it would make the picture even more clear and would definitely convince you to go for one such effective toolbar.
Earlier,Even I was not in the favour of using this toolbar,but seeing it on other blogs,I installed it and I got more than just being surprised as I found it really very useful.It showed me that my ranking was going down when I was thinking that writing the articles would be promoting my search engine ranking now.It made me aware of the blunder I was doing.You can read it here . From that time onwards,I have been using this alexa toolbar very effectively and it has helped me a lot increasing the traffic to my blog.
