    Alexa rank is increased by visitors who use the alexa toolbar, not SEO. Yes, SEO can generate traffic with people who "might" be using the Alexa toolbar. Considering it's nothing more than spyware to track what you do on the web I'm surprised people still even use it.

    I think you are really missing the point.

    I do SEO for traffic which has to convert.

    You are doing SEO to increase your Alexa rank.

    hmm which is better?

    Of course seeing your rank increasing in a toolbar is a great feeling, but the toolbar doesn't have to be representative as it looks. Like ssandecki said it just tracks the users of the toolbar, and what if nobody in a certain country (like the netherlands) use that toolbar? Where am I then with my site?

    Amen brother... Its all about conversion and Alexa has no impact on conversion. SEO is great for driving traffic, but if your not selling you will not convert. Just providing information is not enough.

    Why do you even want to increase your Alexa ranking? It does not mean anything!

    SEO has absolutely nothing to do with the Alexa ranking. I have a site that so far has been almost purely adwords traffic and it has moved up a lot in the Alexa ranking (1,000,000+ before I started using adwords and now its around 350,000), Alexa is simply the number of people who visit your site who have that toolbar installed, it doesn't matter how they got to your site.

    And also as others said, your Alexa ranking doesn't mean much, basically its only a way to look at other sites (competitors) and get a vague idea of how much traffic they are getting, the only thing is it looks bad to have a really poor Alexa ranking so you want to get it down definitely less than 500,000, ideally less than 100,000 but I don't think most people who use the internet use Alexa so its mainly a way to just judge other sites but its not all that accurate.
