•      PK-ADS – this is probably the cheapest traffic providing website I have seen over the Internet. It s a PTP [paid to promote] website. The traffic that comes from this site is not from auto surfs, but still the quality is not of the highest standards. Bounce rate is high in this traffic, but then it’s too cheap to resist. 80k hits for $4. There is also an option to target your campaign to select countries also, which is slightly expensive.

•      Traffic swarm – traffic swarm is a website which am using for some time. It has a paid membership too, which is pretty promising. In this site you simply earn credits by viewing others sites and do other works, and then submit your link.

•      Surf sieve – simply earn credits by surfing other websites, then use those credits for getting hits to your own website. The difference here is, a member has to install the alexa toolbar before the surfing starts. This way every hit is an alexa hit. Referral and credit transfer are the other features available on surf sieve. This site even has a demo page.

•      Hit pulse – this is another website with lots of prospects. Sends good traffic too and has a premium paid membership option as well.

•      Traffic pay outs – this website pays good money if you can send traffic, else use it as a good source of traffic.

•             Ads for Indians – this is not a traffic exchange website, it gives serious high quality traffic, but a lot cheap rate. So I though about mentioning it here.

 In the next post I will come up with more websites like this, which will be sending good amount of traffic at cheap rates.

I see a lot of blogger blogs and other sub-domain based sites don’t have an Alexa rank. So if your site or blog has a decent traffic then you can invite Alexa bot and your sub domain or sub page website will get an Alexa rank.

Once Alexa bot comes to your website, and indexes your site, you will see your site’s Alexa rank on Alexa toolbar. After that, you can fill up additional details of your website or ask Alexa to update your site’s thumbnail image. Usually this change takes 48 hours to show up. Quick update about surf sieve’s ,

Our Alexa ranks have improved from the last update, here is the screen shot of our traffic details.

As you can see this is a new site, and launched just a few days back. We are still trying to repair all the bugs and make this site compatible on all browsers. I just checked out our Alexa ranks, and it has started to improve already. I would be waiting for the next update of Alexa ranks very anxiously. Right now our Alexa rank is 1,406,956. this figure dose not impress at all, but that’s the way we start, right. Am posting this entry so that people know that we really started from scratch.

 Why is top 100k is all that important. Yes it gives a nice feeling, makes us happy, etc. but then real thing is we all get the alexa traffic graph once we reach the top 100k. many webmasters spend all day, thinking how they get get ranks below this mark. We will talk about this point in another post, right now am showing our graph, how it looks. This will explain why the top 100k is all that important. 

Those of you who are buying Alexa hits from our website, we suggest you to buy Alexa hits for your sites inner links also, this way you can increase your page views recorded in Alexa stats. Check out this image, here it shows the number of pages of your site that are browsed. It is 6.4 right now.

Alexa ranks measures a site’s rank over a period of 3 months, so it takes time to improve on the ranks, but then if you keep on optimizing for Alexa ranks, you can see improvements of your ranks on every Alexa ranks update. This update is done every 3-5 days, and for the first 3 months of optimization you can sure see your ranks fly. 

Please let us know, how many hits you are getting from our site, also let us know if our services helped you to improve your ranks. Make the most of our services, start surfing today, checkout out homepage for more details.

1) Install Alexa toolbar on your computer, you can also install the Mozila plugin for Alexa. The Mozila Firefox toolbar for Alexa is also available and is absolutely recommended.

2) Use the re-direct, http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.surfsieve.com just use your website in place of the surfsieve and see the difference in your rankings.

3) Give a link from your site to your Alexa traffic details page, in our case this is surf sieve traffic details. http://alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=www.surfsieve.com

4) Make an Alexa widget and put it on your website or blog, this will take your visitors to Alexa.

5) Make sure your visitors install Alexa toolbar, actively promote Alexa toolbar and ask your visitors to install the toolbar or Mozila search status plugin.

6) Submit your website to Alexa directories. There are a few Alexa directories, search for them, even on our website Surf Sieve we are planning to put up a directory, but that will take time. Anyways, these Alexa directories have a lot of visitors who use Alexa toolbar, so don’t skip this step.

7) Write articles on manipulating Alexa ranks for improving Alexa ranks, people who come by searching these terms are interested to improve there Alexa ranks, so you get traffic from people who have Alexa toolbar installed in there browsers.

8). Advertise on webmaster sites, blogs or forums. You can also post a lot in webmaster forums and then add a link in your signature. Webmasters usually use this Alexa toolbar so if your site or a part of it is popular in webmaster communities, then your Alexa rank will sure come down. I will make another post on this point, remember to check back.

9) Social bookmarking traffic also helps to boost Alexa ranks, use sites like Digg, Stumbleupon, Technorati, Delicious etc, these sites gives thousands of unique visitors a day.

10) Use Alexa auto-surf, our site is an Alexa auto surf. Our members has to install the Alexa toolbar before the surfing starts. This way every hit is an Alexa hit. Other auto surf websites don’t have this system, but then on most of those auto surfs, surfers usually have the Alexa toolbar installed, so auto surfs are a must try.

11) Submit to the top web directories, here is a list of strongest web directories, most of the webmaster traffic comes from these directories.

12) Buy blog posts in webmaster blogs, buy links, target the webmaster audience.

13) Dedicate a part of your website for Alexa and webmasters. Write articles and blog about webmaster and Alexa ranks.

14) Post comments on blogs like this.

15) Go to public cyber cafes and install the Alexa toolbar, then browse your site and while you leave the café make sure you have set the homepage to your website so that you can still get a few hits after you leave. Try to pay a few cyber café owners to install the Alexa toolbar and set your site as there homepage, also ask them to browse there site sometime when the systems are idle.

We will talk more about getting webmaster traffic in our next post.
