    Alexa rank analyzes your website traffic. Google PR is a measure of link authority pointing to your domain. Alexa rank is generally considered irrelevant to SEO.

    Some SEO Consider Alexa Ranking important but some are not. but for me, It is important as PR, because alexa ranking is the combination report of Ranks, Traffic and backlinks.

    It is a factor for a website to see it's ranking globally. It's like a PR for a website but has a little difference from it.

    Fact: The lower amount of Alexa is, the higher the ranking is.

    Alexa rank Depends on the umber of Visitors to your site, Google Page Rank depends on the quality of your site

    Alexa rank is simply a measure of traffic to your website; the lower the ranking number the more popular the site. However, in order to obtain an alexa ranking you either have to have a widget installed on your website or your visitors must have an Alexa plugin installed in their browser. In this sense Alexa ratings might be considered unrealistic and there is plenty of talk of how to ramp up your Alex ranking through exploiting this simple ratings model. Alexa ratings however do carry industry qudos especially amongst website valuers and advertising companies.Hope that helps.

    Rightly so..
    Alexa rank measures the number of traffic visit your site have Alexa toolbar installed in their browser. The rank is proportional to the volume of traffic. You can expect less Alexa figures when your site has more number of visitors using Alexa toolbar. In contrast to that Google PR is more relevant but does not influence SERP at all.

    Forget about these factors. Alexa rank will eventually decrease and PR will increase as soon as your site gets more and more consistent visitors.

    It could start showing up on the next day after the start-up (you can't do it on the same day, because Alexa refreshes the information daily!) ;)

    Most advertisers look at your website's Alexa Rank to determent if you have enough traffic before they buy ad space from you.
