How to boost your Alexa ranking, Traffic, and Page Rank in one fell swoop. Without even trying!!!

I know this sounds unbelievable, but about a week or so ago I stumbled onto something that may have helped do all 3 of those things. The best thing of all is that it was completely unintentional.

I wasn’t trying.
