    Can anybody tell me how can we improve our site ranking in Alexa?
    How much significant and reliable are Alexa rankings?
    Do anybody have some Alexa Directories???
    Is it so that Alexa counts visitors who have Alexa toolbar on their browser?

    1) Have alexa Thumbnail on your website to improve the ranking

    2)Alexa rankings are not that much significant as they are only based on IE browsers and thumbnails

    3)Alexa Directories means what?

    4)Yes they count by toolbars only but the toolbar can't be used in firefox!

    Don't worry about your ranking in Alexa it is just a approximate computation of visitors of your site.... Just continue building traffic and add more links... :D

    Some companies like TLA, ReviewME, etc. pay higher if you have a good Alexa rank.
    You can purchase traffic to improve your Alexa rank instantly.
    Just make sure you're not running AdSense in the same time, because this is against their TOS.

    -get more trafic and visitor are the key

    How much significant and reliable are Alexa rankings?
    - not reliable at all since it's only based on surfer who use their toolbar.

    Do anybody have some Alexa Directories???
    - what' s that? XD

    Is it so that Alexa counts visitors who have Alexa toolbar on their browser?
    yes it is. so when user with no alexa toolbar visit your site, they wont count.

    Do not worry about your alexa ranking. It is easy to manipulate these results and they are not accurate. We have bumped a site 500k just by using the toolbar on a different Ip. Keep an eye on your traffic and rankings for your targeted key phrases if anything. It might also be worth looking at compete.com if you are really that concerned. I think their ranking factors are better. It was created by the same guy that started Overture.

    Don't bother yourself thinking about alexa ranking. Think first on how to put your site on top of search engine query. Alexa ranking was based on the traffic that your site has so get more traffic to increase your alexa ranking.

    Just keep your site's traffic increase and Alexa's ranking would increase too. :D

    BTW, Alexa is not that accurate.

    Alexa increases much more if you have webmasters visiting the site as they are more likely to have it installed than normal users. So in reality it isn't very accurate at all...

    don't optimize your site just for alexa rankings,, optimize it for the browsers.. it will surely rank your sites!

    although it's not reliable at all, it's still valuable because even though people say they dont look at it, they do

    it sucks because a lot of services weigh alexa ranking in when pricing links and review prices and such.

    alexa ranking does not effect the serp results . it logs the visits of people who has installed the alexa toolbar.

    here are some suggests to increase alexa rank

    * put an alexa button that shows your alexa ranking
    * use a firefox extensions which shows on your browser
    * make your own alexa toolbar and suggest your visitors to install this toolbar
