The alternative would be to use a Javascript that catches the click on a The Better “Alexa Redirect” WordPress Pluginhyperlink on your site and then prefix it with the Alexa Redirect URL.
Here is an example – you have a link on your blog like http://www.myblog.com/recent/ , but when the user clicks on it, it will transform into http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?http://www.myblog.com/recent. At 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.

  1. Download the Better “Alexa Redirect” WordPress Plugin

  2. Upload Better “Alexa Redirect” WordPress Plugin to your WordPress plugins folder
  3. Activate the Better “Alexa Redirect” WordPress Plugin
