    WOW! How did you figure this one out? Are you the original author, or did this trickle down to you from somewhere else?

    Oh, and thanks for sharing!

  2. Terence Chang says:

    WebGyver:

    I have not checked if someone is doing it already. I believe so, but they just don’t share. I was just experiment this for a weeks now…So I thought it will be nice to share ..

    I am not Alexa Traffic Ranking believer, but I do feel great when traffic coming in. Who doesn’t?

  3. LISTIKAL says:

    Kind of a shady way of doing it, but still a great idea none the less.

  4. Terence Chang says:

    LISTIKAL:

    That’s why I called it experiment. I don’t even know if people will copy it or not, but I do know that people click on it.

    I hope to see the logo I made appearing on other blogs some days, them I know people are copying it.

    @Terence … Same here .. I am also no believer in Alexa rank .. as I cant understand the thing that it Uses alexa users to rate my website and not other users. moreover it seems redirecting your website through alexa , might drop your google page rank ….

  6. Terence Chang says:

    Kanak:

    Thank you for visiting.

    I don’t think redirect your web site with Alexa will lower your Google Page Ranking. The traffic is not controlled by Google and no one will use Alexa redirect to link to your web site except yourself.

    You are the only one who dare to use Alexa redirect. Google don’t even monitor the redirect in the Alexa toolbar, so I am not worry about the page rank.

    I do care a little bit about Google Page rank, but it doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t mean you will have traffic. It will just mean that you have a lot of backlinks to your web site.

    Good quality content is the key to drive traffic. Why PORN business is making money while some of them have PR0?

    People will know your web site not because your Alexa Traffic Ranking or Google Page Ranking, if you market it right.

    Hi great idea you come with. I never use stumble upon and nerver try it, but after this surely I will check out what stumble upon can do.

    Btw good post.

    dott-com:

    You will enjoy your traffic ….

  9. kanak says:

    @terence , I agree with you ..that only person using the re-direct will be me :-D ..
    Am not a SEO guru .. so i had my own misconceptions , Actually Alexa ranking cant help you in getting traffic ( I am sure of that :-D ), but google page rank can get that for you as page rank also decides where your page sits in a google search query ( am not sure, but that what i think ). So it can get you some traffic. Correct me if I am wrong :)

  10. Terence Chang says:

    Kanak:

    I don’t think Google page rank will directly affect your search result. It depends on your keywords. I have some pages come up number 1 in Google search and few number 1 on Google blog search. Those keywords are popular, while I only have PR1. I don’t care too much about PR and Alexa traffic ranking, because they currently don’t bring me traffic.

    Thanks!

  11. Great idea! I like how you give alot of tips about increasing alexa rank!

  12. ReviewSaurus says:

    Nice catchy title there, but I think could be something like this StumbleUpon Traffic = Great Alexa Rank!

  13. Terence Chang says:

    ReviewSaurus:

    Thanks! That’s good idea. I will give that a shot next time I have something to talk about.

  14. LABruinBear says:

  16. Daniel says:

    Interesting. Worth a Bump and a Stumble. I don’t recommend using that toolbar. Good old google does it all much nicer.

  17. Terence Chang says:

    Daniel:

    Thank you for stopping by. StumbleUpOn have helped me generate some kind of traffic. It will be good only if you continue stumbling. ;-)

  18. Nelson Tan says:

    Hi Terence, you did a great job with this tip. I recently also posted something about StumbleUpon. It’s almost similar. All interested readers are welcome to take a read: http://www.internetmasterycenter.com/blog/2007/07/12/lets-stumbleupon-this-project

    best regards,
    Nelson

  19. Terence Chang says:

    Nelson:

    Great works! Will check that out!

  20. Nelson Tan says:

    I almost forgot to stumble you! Just follow the instructions on that post of mine and leave a comment to tell me which pages you want me to review. I’ll do it asap.

  21. Do you know link StumbleUpon give us is not valid xhtml? To validate, you have to change it “&” to “&”

    wrong:
    http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=Replaced with your blog URL]&title=[Replaced with your blog title]”

    correct: [change "&" to "&"]
    http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=Replaced with your blog URL]&title=[Replaced with your blog title]”

    best regards,

    Myo Kyaw Htun

  22. Ah … sorry, I’ve to do like this.

    “& ” to ” & a m p ; “

  23. Terence Chang says:

    Myo Kyaw Htun:

    Thank you for the information. I know what you mean.

  24. car news guy says:

    So are you basically getting people to stumble your alexa redirect URL? Is that how this works or have I missed something?

  25. Terence Chang says:

    car News Guy:

    I don’t think you can stumble on your redirect URL. It’s basically copy the script on to you web site and tell people how you increase by loading that script. When people click on it. It redirect to alexa.

    Now I find that you can do so by just insert the Alexa badge. The script I did does help a lot at beginning.

  26. Crystal says:

    This is a pretty good idea. I stumbled you with the link you have. Unfortunately this would be too off topic for me to do in my blog. Good idea though :)

  27. Terence Chang says:

    @Crystal:

    Not to worry about doing this on your blog. If you have quality content, people will come. ;-)

  28. Pramudita says:

    I Agree : StumbleUpon Traffic = Great Alexa Rank!. But what for alexa rank ?

  29. Terence Chang says:

    @Pramudita:

    With a good Alexa traffic ranking, you can easily get a higher pay-per-click advertisement rate on your site. It basically means that you have good traffic with fair amount of viewers everyday. So you will be able to make more money off your advertisement on your site.

  30. Jmus says:

    Cool stuff dude !!!!

  31. Terence Chang says:

    @Jmus:

    I hope you enjoy my site. There are many other topic about StumbleUpOn traffic. Good luck to you site.

  32. Game says:

    This is great. Glad I … ahem … stumbled across it because I don’t like installing that stumbleupon toolbar and I really think they should make it easier for people without the toolbar to submit links.

  33. Terence Chang says:

    @Game:

    That’s right. Using stumbleUpOn toolbar is sometimes pain in the neck. With the little tool, I can stumble page without extra tool bar.

  34. New Blogger says:

    Mr. Chang:
    How come when I click on your graphic of StumbleUpOn + Alexa logos (above), in the body of your post, I get an error message “http 404″? The link doesn’t work.

    I checked the source code on this blog page and the html code for this graphic/logo looks different than the html code you are asking us to copy to our site. I copied that html code to my blog and followed your instructions and I still got the same “http 404″ error message when I tried it on my site. What’s going on? Is anyone else having this problem? Please help, I would like to experiment with this ASAP. Thanks…

  35. Terence Chang says:

    @New Blogger:

    As I said in other post, Alexa has change the way to not accept the redirect URL. Please take time to join some great social network such as StumbleUpOn and make some great friends there. Join my friends list and let me know what page you want me to review.

    Good luck and thank you for visiting.

  36. Randall says:

    This is a great link. I’m new to the SEO game … and really just want to learn enough to make my website profitable. But I definitely will be following your blog.
    By the way, my website is http://www.contractorleadgeneration.com.
    Thanks, Randall

  37. Randall says:

    Oh, an additional quick question: in a more recent blog entry, you mention that things have changed with regard to how alexa ranks using stumbleupon. since i’m so new to the seo game (and my site is new and somewhat specialized) what might be a good way to link with others quickly to get traffic started within days? (I have been thinking about forming a ‘social bookmark club’ where everyone links to most every page on everyone elses’ website. What do you think? Could this work? And, could this work fast? Thanks Randall
