    To improve alexa ranking you should use following ways, definitely it will affects a lot.
    1. Download the Alexa toolbar and use it every day to visit your own website. Alexa even gives you the ability to co-brand the toolbar with your own logo and give it away. You can download the toolbar here: http://pages.alexa.com/prod_serv/associatetoolbar.html 2. Use Alexa redirection whenever you can. No matter when or where you provide a link to your website, be sure to use the equivalent Alexa redirect URL. For example, when providing a link to my website, I use http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?marketingscoop.com. If you copy this URL into your browser, it will take you to MarketingScoop.com. To use this technique, simply replace the name of my website (marketingscoop) with yours.
    3. Encourage your website visitors to add their positive testimonials on Alexa’s detailed listings page for your website. This can be done by placing a link to the appropriate Alexa page on your website and asking visitors to “Click here to rate this website”.
    4. Write your own site reviews on the top 100 rated Alexa sites and include your redirect URL. The top 500 domains, according to Alexa can be found at http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_500 When you write a review, be sure to use the redirection URL we discussed in number 2 above specifically for your website [http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?marketingscoop.com].
    5. Download the Alexa ranking button, traffic history graph, info links, and other traffic counters onto the page of your website that receives the most traffic. For example, at the bottom of my home page http://www.marketingscoop.com, I’ve added the Alexa ranking box. You can do the same for your own site by visiting http://www.alexa.com/site/site_stats/signup You’ll notice that I haven’t added the traffic history graph. This is because it wouldn’t look appropriate on my home page and because Alexa is only providing detailed history on the top 100,000 sites. So if you’re not in the top 100,000, site stats would not be available.
    6. Take an inexpensive advertisement out on the ExactSeek search directory for only a few dollars per month at ExactSeek.com Search engine results are directly correlated with Alexa rankings. You’ll notice that if a website is highly ranked on ExactSeek, chances are that it will be highly ranked on Alexa.
    7. Get listed on as many search engines as possible by placing a free listing in DMOZ. This is the largest human edited directory on the web and is co-branded among hundreds of thousands of sites. Be patient though, it often takes up to 5 months before you see your website listed after submission. Even though it takes longer than it should, you have little say in the matter because it’s so widely used across the Internet.
    These simple Alexa strategies are easy to implement and will make a huge difference in your Alexa ranking. Ultimately you want visitors to do more than visit your home page, you want them to interact with your site. Be sure to optimize your home page for SEO purposes, ease of use, and interaction. Creating a positive user experience will get visitors to return again and again.

    Useless. It is a useless metric.

    You seem to have a nice site so don't waste your time worrying about something as meaningless as Alexa ranking.

    LOL

    Alexa ranking is a pretty vague figure. It's determined by the number of readers who have an alexa toolbar, and in practise this is such a small percentage that just one dedicated reader can swing the ranking of a site massively.

    I'm really satisfied by Alexa & Alexa's operation includes archiving of webpages as they are crawled. This database served as the basis for the creation of the Internet Archive accessible through the Wayback Machine.

    If you remove Alexa ranking you must do social bookmarking and blogs comments and increase your back links very fast and move visitors to your domain and after 2 and 3 months your Alexa ranking going down if your site traffic increase

    Alexa ranking just only indicator of the number of visitors to the site ..

    The way it works is as follows:
    - High number of visitors means Get higher ranked in Alexa.
    - A small number of visitors means Get low ranked in Alexa.

    Alexa ranking is not so important. You should try to improve google ranking - thats important.

    But if you want to improve Alexa ranking then you must do what Kellylsn says:

    Hey

    I agree with p.caspian Google ranking is significantly more important than your alexa ranking and is more important to the revenue you earn from your site. None the less thanks for the great tips for alexa.

    Thanks

    Google Ranking is also important only if you are selling the links on your site. If you do not want to sell links then better to concentrate on SERP than Google Rankings or Alexa :)

    Alexa defines themselves as “the web information company,” but to webmasters and bloggers, they are so much more. Essentially, Alexa is a company that measures web traffic on almost every website on the internet through their increasingly popular toolbar plugin. This becomes an important element in leveraging your blog’s ranking as a sell point to advertisers, sponsors, buyers, readers and whoever else wants a piece of your material.

    Alexa Ranking toolbar collects data on browsing behavior which is transmitted to the website where it is stored and analyzed and is the basis for the company's web traffic reporting.

    It can't remove your site from it unless your traffic is low and unable to track by alexa.
    Try to increase your alexa ranking rather leave it there. It still a rank for you beside Pagerank.
    Alexa usually help you to define competitors and not yours because you able to get more details from Google Analytics for your own website.
