    alexa ranking shows your traffic proportional to global traffic
    you may have low traffic but same day all world may have even lower traffic = your rank goes up because proportionally to daily total traffic you have higher rank
    end vv
    in addition
    on certain days more webmaster may be surfing and you may have more alexa toolbar user on site creating different result
    and vv
    as you know from careful reading of alexa pages - the ranking ONLY gives a reasonable value for rankings better than 100k
    the higher your ranking the more accurate your rank ( the higher the traffic = the better the accuracy )
    if your traffic in the range or top 10k - (then alexa starts to become fairly accurate all times
    usually you get such organic rank when you have some 50'000 uv/day or more

    Stop 10 people on the street ask them to name any search engine. How many "Alexa" responses do you think you'll get?

    Clearly why worry about it?

    alexa does have a SE but is no SE but above all a website ranking system
    when you are in the top 40'000 or so then you will know why some webmaster care about alexa because based on your alexa rank you then may start to receive advertising requests from companies other than google adsense
    the OP here clearly was about alexa tank and NOT alexa search ...

    I think alexa ranking can be boosted by adding toolbar etc. So just try to focus on your daily page visits rather than any other rankings.

    But when it comes to Traffic, alexa comes first in mind. Depends on it we can see our improvements.

    Alexa algorithm is working in mysterious way. Don't hang over there for more time. Use google analytics only.
