Traffic Magnet - What Makes An Alexa Mover?
Perhaps you have already noticed the movers & shakers when you visit Alexa’s homepage, but have you thought about the reasons to their rapid increase in ranks? Maybe you can also learn something from these traffic magnets and become a traffic magnet yourself.
I have been thinking of the reasons why some websites can move so fast up in ranks within one week. In fact, some of them can easily increase in terms of thousands of percent, in their ranks. The best part is they did it within one week. I began to check out what their websites involve with. I noticed that quite a number of the websites which are in the top 10 list of movers are news related. For instance, this website which features on the late celebrity Anna Nicole Smith has moved 18,000% within just one week. This is one kind of websites which readers will search for when an event has happened. Another will be the sports results/ events. People are anxious to know the latest sports results. Hence they will always look out at the websites to know the latest results asap.
Though these news related movers can explode their ranks tremendously within a week, their ranks usually dont stay for long. More often then not, their ranks will also drop as soon as everyone has read about the information and left. Unless the updates are so frequent like newspapers, or their websites will drop real fast. Hence, if you are thinking of using news to boost your traffic rankings, then you need to have to update your website with news almost everyday to maintain the high traffic rankings. Also, you will need to be real sensitive with your surroundings, because your website needs to be updated almost real time. If not, what is considered as news to you might already become old news to your readers already. Your readers might have read it from your competitors’ websites. Though this method is really tough to keep up, this can be one of the methods to increase traffic rankings.
One of websites which has succeeded in using news to sustain their rankings is Yahoo!. It has frequent updates on all kinds of news. Be it sports, financial, world or local news. Hence, most visitors will automatically go to Yahoo! when they want to find out on the latest news since it is reliable and most updated. Therefore, everything is possible if we just put a little thought to it and become an Alexa Mover.
