    Approx:

    # Rank 1 is 120 million people or so per month
    # Rank 100 is 15 million people or so per month
    # Rank 250 is 10 million people or so per month
    # Rank 1,000 is 5 million people or so per month
    # Rank 10,000 is 1 million people or so per month
    # Rank 50,000 is 200,000 people or so per month

    according to this post

    Alexa Rank can be readed in many ways, buy they only collec data froma XX % of all internet users (with alexa toolbar and so) , and acording to this data, they generate the traffic rank.

    Rank may be readed in this other way: how many pages have the same amount of visits.

    NOTE: For some languages different than english this data may differ. Here in Spain not many people has Alexa Toolbar, so rank will be lower for the same amount of traffic.

    Some time ago i've seem a guy who made a graph from a large amount of visitors submitting both rank and visits, but i've been looking for this web and I can't really remember it. if I find it i'll post.

    Hope it helped.

    EDIT: here is the website i was talking about -> http://www.sillyjokes.co.uk/alexa/

    I found if you put the alexa widget your rank is improved a hell of a lot as the widget counts the visitors with out the need for the toolbar..

    alexa does not mean anything.....alexa only counts people who visit your site and have the alexa toolbar installed. Most webmster and related sites are ranked higher because webmasters and people interested in seo are the ones that have the toolbar installed

    seo ranter,
    I don't think so, if you have a high traffic website, despite you have or not alexa toolbar, your influence on ranking will be nearly zero.

    Its ovious that webmaster websites will have higher alexa ranks, but alexa is only supposed to give you an idea of the popularity of the site, and i can assure you that Alexa Ranks are relevant and consistent in most of websites.

    but this is not the point, we were talking about Alexa Rank vs Traffic, also ovious that if some want to cheat, he can, but its not intended for.

    Keep in mind Alexa is giving you only an idea about the traffic.
    The Alexa rank could be easily abused.
