Stay In The Loop
Keep up to date on Alexa's top global 500. Often these sites correlate closely to the top 500 Google sites- and you could luck out and find a rapidly rising site that will link back to you. It's also a good measure of upcoming trends you can arrange for your site to capitalize on. The top 500 Global Sites are available on Alexa.com's homepage.
Say Thank You.
Thank fellow webmasters for their assistance by doing reviews of their site at Alexa. Then the next time you have cause to email them, mention the review and give permission for them to use it as a testimonial. This works nicely as an ice breaker for a join venture, and is also a good way to show that your flattery is sincere, and not just of the smoke-blowing, scratch-my-back-and-I'll-scratch-yours variety so many are used to online.
This is just a short list of things I implemented due to the latest changes to Alexa - if you go by the site and do some exploring, I bet you'll think of dozens more. If so, I hope you'll drop me a line and share.
