This is a WordPress plugin, which is designed to improve the Alexa Ranking of your blog by prefixing all your blog’s links with the Alexa Redirect URL.
You have a link on your blog like
http://blogulate.com/content/category/money-makers/
but when the user clicks on it, it will transform into
http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?http://blogulate.com/…
In the same time, when a Search-Engine bot like Google visits your page it will not trigger the JavaScript event, because they are not JavaScript-aware: and in this way you “Alexa-Rating boosting efforts” will not mess your Google rating and search results positions.

I have heard that this plugin can effect your search engine rankings, not sure although.
1Hey Nirmal ..
I never used it coz i was concerned of the same thing .. I think this one’s different.. the link remains the same, unless a mouse click event occurs.. I’m using it right now.
When you right click and copy the link, it’s the normal one, but when you click on a link [internal links only] , the JS turns it into the alexa redirect.
Anyways,even im not sure… im just trying it out. It looked safe to me
2If you depend on link or site selling as a form of monetization you’ll definitely want to increase your Alexa rank, because it’ll increase your bargaining power when it comes to ad pricing.
