Alexa rank questions

    I see everybody's more and more running to get a good rank in Alexa top.
    I have a few questions regarding Alexa rank:
    - How is this Alexa rank calculated? It's only an estimate based on the people who installed the alexa extension in their browsers, or is it something more?
    - Does this Alela rank has anything to do with SEO? If you're alexa rank/score is lower, you get better positioning in search engines?
    - If you SE optimize your website, do you get better Alexa rank?
    - Alexa usually shows two figures: Alexa rank and Alexa rank in country. Does the second rank (in country) mean anything?

    to be honest i can't suggest you to focus on alexa rank, because its easy to manipulate so don't trust on any site that has lower rank.

    "The traffic rank is based on three months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of Alexa Toolbar users and data obtained from other, diverse traffic data sources, and is a combined measure of page views and users (reach). As a first step, Alexa computes the reach and number of page views for all sites on the Web on a daily basis. The main Alexa traffic rank is based on a value derived from these two quantities averaged over time (so that the rank of a site reflects both the number of users who visit that site as well as the number of pages on the site viewed by those users). The three-month change is determined by comparing the site's current rank with its rank from three months ago. For example, on July 1, the three-month change would show the difference between the rank based on traffic during the first quarter of the year and the rank based on traffic during the second quarter."

    Having 5 dinamically allocated IP addresses is not a big deal any more. Everyone who can have that, can manipulate Alexa Rank easily.
    And there are companies which are doing that for you.
