Alexa Widget Helps Improve Alexa Ranking of your Blog. Is it True?

But, what Alexa widget really is and how it works?

Anyway, If you are a blogger, then you must know about Alexa widget, right?. But, if you are a still newbie, i will explain to you with my own words.

Alexa Internet Inc. is a web information company, a subsidiary of Amazon, founded in 1996 by Brewster Kahle and Bruce Gilliat, which has a job to track the traffic of every blog and website all across the world and then rank it with a number. Alexa ranking works differently with how Google pagerank works. So if your Alexa ranking is big, for example 14.000.000, it means your blog or website doesn't have quite good amount of visitors per day. On the other side, if your blog has a small Alexa rank, for example 1, it means your blog is famous and your blog has a bigger amount of traffic per day. So smaller is better in Alexa rangking.

Many webmasters said that embedding Alexa widget into our blog is the first way on getting attention from Alexa rank. By adding the Alexa widget into our blog, will finally improve the Alexa ranking of our blog in the future. So, if you are eager in making money on internet, i strongly suggest you to add this Alexa ranking widget in your blog in order to get indexed in Alexa's database. Now, in this article, i want to show you how to stack the Alexa widget on your blog. Here you go!

First Phase: Getting the script code of Alexa widget
