    By Alexa's standards, that means that your site is ranked 8,455,345 away from the top (Google.com). Simply said, a smaller value means better ranking.

    No, not just from backlinks. I'm not quite sure about Alexa's algorithm or what factors do they consider for their rankings, but most definitely it includes how you do well in the SERPs through your SEO/SEM efforts, both on-page and off-page. Banklinking is just a parcel of the whole SEO complex.

    I can't really say so. You might want to try and google for other rank measuring services. One service is not enough. Well, I guess that's just how I go about things.

    Alexa has a toolbar to download and uses that to measure Alexa ranking. The more people that visit your website with that toolbar, the lower your rank. My rank is 68,311 and I've had my site since May of this year.

    its the measure of how much traffic your site is getting. the more traffic you start attracting to your site, the lower will be its alexa ranking.

    Exactly, Alexa ranking is totally based on visitors using alexa toolbar. So you will never get the clear picture of your traffic ratio. As I have seen website with thousands of visitors each day having too much alexa in terms of ranking while website with low alexa ranking were hardly getting 10 to 50 visits each day. So we can't depend completely on them.

    That's right. These are machine - Alexa and the others. Sometimes they cannot tell anything more. The important is that how much money you can earn from your website. Is that right?

    alexa ranking is traffic ranking, it mean that your site is rank 8.455.345 in traffic, mean there are 8.455.344 site have better traffic than your site. However, the data from alexa ranking is based on the traffic with alexa ranking tool. So, it may not accurate enough

    Check your signature link it will help your alexa rank. If your site is below 100,000 then you are getting good traffic.
