Alexa Traffic Rating

When we first started this site, it was "just for fun". Over the past month, it has become a hobby (that is unfortunately interfering with my MBA) that has allowed me to study, research, and learn more about search engine optimization (SEO), internet advertising keyworks, pay-per-click programs, PageRank, Alexa traffic rank, and a host of many other obscure topics.

After reading a couple blogs about Alexa traffic rank, I realized "I don't even know what is my rank." So, off to http://www.alexa.com/ where I downloaded their toolbar. To my dismay (although it was half expected), my rank was in the millions, 15,781,310 to be exact. Wow! That's what I said to myself.

So now I am on a search to scour the interwebs looking for tips on how to increase (or decrease depending on how you look at) my Alexa traffic rank.

If anyone has any advice or suggestions, it is much appreciated. Otherwise, I am off to search and I'll try to remember to post back on what I find. I also plan to write here more often (in this and other voices) to report results (hopefully improvements) to my traffic rank.

Cheers!

  1. Bug report:
    In "hard #4091" for a 4x4 game there is a "9+" section with 4 boxes. This should say 10+.

  2. I find that it does not provide recovery for a puzzle, for instance: Hard #6079.

    How come?

  3. I recently ran all your No-Op kendoku puzzles through a solver I'm working on. 107 of these puzzles have duplicate solutions. Happy to share more info if you want it.
