I just received a link from my friend to Alexa’s Newsvine statistics. And according to those statistics, my Newsvine column, Pasi, is the one, which gets most visitors on Newsvine.
Alexa’s rank is created by the Alexa toolbar, which is available for Firefox and IE. It works, that user install the toolbar to his browser. Then the toolbar gathers information about browser behavior and sends it to Alexa. How Alexa uses this information to create Alexa ranking, is not known.
Installing the toolbar to my browser must have supported my success. Of course I can’t do high ranking alone, so I must have other visitors, and a lot of them, too.
But if you wish, that your browsing supports the popularity of the sites you visit, install Alexa toolbar. And if you are trying to make your blog more popular, you should have done it already.
