Install the Alexa toolbar or Firefox’s SearchStatus extension – why? Well, it appears that Alexa ranks are dependant on who visits your website with the Alexa toolbar installed or the Firefox alternative.
Encourage visitors to use the Alexa toolbar, you can do this through jQuery pop-ups, banners – however you want, just encourage, encrouage, encourage your visitors to install that toolbar! It will make all the difference!
Use Alexa redirects on your website URL. Do this: http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.mysite.com . Replace ‘www.mysite.com’ with the www. address of your site. So what effect does this have? Well, if you leave this URL in blog comments, forum posts etc. This directly increases your rank, regardles of whether or not the visitor has the toolbar.
Flaunt Your Address in sites like forums, blogs, and other popular sites – in summary, wherever you think you can get your site name and address, get it in there! But be cautious not to start spamming.
Blog About SEO and SEO related content, such as Alexa – this is one of the things that gets webmasters hyped up! They love to hear about it! So obviously they will read about it, meaning better rank for you!

Most of us these days use a Mac, and they are pretty good in everything they do, there’s just one problem, it’s hard to find a decent free web editor for use on a Mac. Well, help is at hand! In this post I will show you 3 of the best web editors for this OS.
I personally use Amaya on my Mac, it’s one of the best web editing experiences I have ever had. In fact who needs Dreamweaver, when you’ve got Amaya? The editor doesn’t just act as a web editor, but also a web editor. Incudes WYSIWYG.
In my opinion, and the words of others KompoZer is also a good WYSIWYG editor, but personally – it’s not as good as Amaya. KompoZer is likely to be a favourite amongst those who where fans of the Nvu software package. They are both quite similar.
Aptana Studio is one of the most advanced web editors out there, it too is almost influenced by Dreamweaver, it’s hard to believe it is free!
Well finally, WordPress 3.0 has been released – it is a really good admin interface too! WordPress have posted this video to their blog:

In this post I will show you 3 of the best plugins and themes for use with your WordPress blog, to enable your visitors to view your blog in a stylish and mobile-friendly theme.
WPTouch
Download: Here
One of the things I love about WPTouch is the fact that it runs and looks just like a native iPhone app, just take a look at the styles and the AJAX coding in the plugin – you can’t fail to notice that it looks like a wep-app – on the plus side – it’s an awesome experience and admin interface!
WordPress Mobile Edition
Download: Here
WordPress Mobile Edition was a plugin that I previously used on this blog before WPTouch. The main reason I changed was because, well – it just wasn’t right for me – as much as the author’s try to make it look like an iPhone app, it does (sort of) but on the whole it just doesn’t – and as a result it looks terribly dull and a bit of an eyesore.
WordPress Mobile Pack
Download: Here
And my final choice of plugins to mobilize your blog is a plugin known as ‘WordPress Mobile Pack’ – it’s a nifty plugin, mainly because it comes with a fine selection of pre-installed themes, and a really comprehensive admin panel!
