Alexa Rank
Nothing, just blog regularly, and you will automatically get an alexa rank and other ranks over time.
Even if you dont want, I guess Alexa will asign rank based on their calculation process !!
its a joke of a ranking system. It requires visitors to have that toolbar inorder to gauge a website's popularity. Majority of the people don't use it. Google PR makes a lot more sense considering people use google products/ chrome a lot more than alexa to gauge a site's popularity. But bloggers shouldn't bother with these rankings unless you want it for marketing your site.

I think it uses data from ISP's also 
Who in this world has that toolbar installed?

Computer Illiterate person !! Rather few basic computer users too.. I find in office many people has 12 / 15 tool bars in their IE
I seriously doubt it. I don't think ISPs would give details of that to them.
You have an alexa rank for .in version.

Alexa rank is determined by number of visitors to your site. As most of your visitors are from India, the .in version has a rank while .com version doesn't.
But isn't that the alexa rank for blogspot.co.in? I put my blog blogspot.co.in then voila I get the same rank as the link above. I put in .blogspot.com and then I get "We don't have enough data to rank this website." Which would explain why I don't have an alexa rank in IndiStats.
Here are some tips to improve Alexa rank:
- Write posts more frequently.
- Try to post the articles at a scheduled time every day.
- It will be helpful if you put an Alexa widget on your blog.
- Download Alexa toolbar for your browser so that whenever you visit your website, your visit contributes to it.

This one I have not done ever 
I use a toolbar in Firefox that tells alexa and pagerank of a website along with other stats. Pretty helpful to keep an eye on your "competitors" :P
for blog ???
on Blog ?? never heard of it
Add alexa widget to your blog 
Add the toolbar to your browser.
My bad...was in a hurry 
and i thought I am so dumb

:) Best suggest will help increase Alexa Rank
Aspire for better things like Google page rank and popularity..... My take though...
Good take AS broda just add Mozrank to it, Alexa sucks
I did what was required as per the steps mentioned in the Alexa site. after Editting the HTML of my blog when i tried to verify website it gave me an error saying the below
"Your homrpage is ridirecting (CODE302) to an URL on anothe r domain. Please either remove this redirect or claimthe site that is being redirected to instead"
Can someone help me with this.
Doc maam your website does have some problem 
I can see the alexa code but the page loading takes a lot of time.
I didnt see any alexa at all..
so what do i next_ please suggest
Maam first change the template its one of the reasons your site is slow
See, if blogging is what interests you, then ranking comes second. Not that it isn't important, but if you don't blog often, any number of widgets and toolbars are not going to help.
What matters is... B.L.O.G.
Blog often.
Blog with your heart in it.
You'll mange to get the rest of the stuff if you blog honestly.
thanx Arvind...yes writing is more important than anthing else..but a better rank comes close to getting appreciated...So i yearn for that.
Hi Vijay,
I have tried the page load test online..and time to laod the page looks okay. but if stillt hink that could be one reason if will find a better template and change. But the thing is I am not someone who appreciates change much.but your advice will be taken into consideration. thanks for taking out the time.
Counter that with alexa widget !!! Install that so they would be able to track via that.. Would not they ??
Hunky I dont think either the tool bar nor the widget matters. I have two test cases and both have given me opposite results. The one with tool bars is low on Alexa (higher rank) and the one without Alexa (both widget and toolbar) is ranked high
Congrats Iftekhar for your nice ranks
IA :: Thats why I wont bother about alexa rank
The way Iftekhar has described Alexa, I think it is reasonable to stop bothering about this ranking engine. We're already so full of vested interests of our political class, our administrators, and the workers that these online good-for-nothings create an additional stress is just not palatable.
I say... forget Alexa and just concentrate on your blogging. Let Alexa coming running after you because you have the power of writing. Why run after a virtual entity and stroke its ego? Why?
Hi Arvind,
Well, being on SEO, blogging etc related niche I cannot afford poor alexa rank and the reason behind this is that I get 40% of my total blog earning from Direct ads, sponsored posts, reviews and links. Thes advertisers don't have our analytics stats and thus the only thing they rely on is our Alexa rank. The better our alexa rank is the more the advertisers pay us.
