    Ranking in Alexa is irrelevant, as the number of real world people who use Alexa for search is practically non existent. Focus on Search Properties people actually use... Google, Yahoo, Bing and to a lesser extent Ask

    Alex is rankings are skewed to websites webnasters disproportionately visit unless you are in the top 10000 sites it doesn`t mean much download the tool bar and visit your site a few times a day and watch your ranking skyrocket.

    Alexa rank is determined by how many alexa toolbar users visit your site. Most people use alexa rank as a method of gauging how popular your site is and how much you can charge for advertisement space on your site. The general consensus is its pretty useless since it measures alexa users not everyone. However, it might be worth it if you plan on selling your site in the future.

    Some of the criteria that are taken into accounts are: 1. Traffic, 2. Backlinks, 3. Search volume to your site.
    As others said here, it measures activity based on the users that have the toolbar installed, but I recommend you NOT to neglect all the data there, as the information you will find might be key in reassessing your search engine optimization strategy.

    A wise developer/business owner would use the information found on Alexa.com in conjunction with other precise real time web/mobile analytic tools (Google Analytics, Clicktale, etc.) to optimize hers/his online marketing strategies.

    Alexa is to see how do you get along with the traffc, in what country is it the most popular.
    It also tells you the backlinks that you have but this is updated very hard.

    alexa ranking is not important at all, so you don't want to worry about that. Just use google analytics to get all details of your site

    Well alexa ranking can be easily manipulated and get to the higher rank as possible. So I guess this is not so much of an important stuff for any website. It only work if your viewers/readers also have alexa toolbar installed in their computers. So to get the rank closer, you can use the automated free softwares and later ask as many as your friends to download the toolbar and view your site atleast once a day. I am sure your alexa rank will come within 100k ;)

    Hello Everybody,

    The Alexa ranking is kind of like one of those annual popularity polls in the real world for your favorite movie actors and celebs. Alexa gives a website its ranking by keeping tabs on its traffic history. This traffic data is gathered on a day to day basis from those that have the Alexa toolbars installed in their web browsers.

    Thanks for sharing
    Smith Jones

    I think alexa uses traffic and backlinks to do their ranking. If you really want to rank high then you need traffic.
