    Alexa rank depends not only on the traffic, but several other factors too. One of them is quality backlinks, which is not at all related to traffic.
    45K alexa rank for your traffic seems reasonable.

    Few things you can do.
    1 copy the alexa rank widget in your homepage. it will surely help.
    2 try to decrease your bounce rate and increase their average time on site and pages per visit as much as possible.
    3 Build backlinks.

    bounce rate is the percentage of unique visitors who do not stay and surf your website. Do more research on how to reduce bounce rate, It may be very tough to accomplish and is rewarding.

    Alexa rank is fake because it counts only those visitors who have installed their Alexa tool bar, If your visitors do not have Alexa bar installed, it wont change your Alexa ranking

    Alexa rank computes al lthe traffic for the main domain and its subdomains. The subdomains don't have a separate rank. To get 45k Alexa rank you need to have more then 10k univ visitors per day. So i think your rank is for all iblogger blogs.

    I don't put much faith in Alexa. I have several sites. I know how much traffic each has and how much $ each one makes. Alexa has some of my sites with a better ranking than ones that I know have probably four times the traffic and earnings. So Alexa is pretty much useless if you ask me.
