    Well i'd say a good alexa ranking definitely gives you a major boost in SERP and even gives you a distinctive badge or mark to go with it.
    I know people who have a high alexa rank will often receive bids and offers asking for advertising space on their website - usually coming from webmasters and advertisers.
    A lot of link exchange and paid advertising sites have good alexa rankings.

    If you have good alexa rank then you should try using Amazon affiliates.

    Alexa ranking is one of the golden rules that decide a website's worth in terms of traffic. It runs the ultra-popular and famous Alexa web-ranking technology. It only measures those sites that have an Alexa toolbar installed.

    Do not focus on getting a better Alexa score. An Alexa score is merely a good comparison tool. Focus on visitor count in your traffic stats and good things will follow. The really good use of Alexa is to track your performance vs. your competitors...

    Hello friend
    Alexa have a toolbar that can be installed in web browsers. Alexa collects data on the sites that users of the toolbar visit to rank sites based on the traffic to them.
    A low Alexa ranking means that a site has more visitors from those with the toolbar installed.

    With lower Alexa Numerical Number, you can get good ads from the third parties. You can show your superiority on the internet. If the ranking is bad and the number is very high then nobody is going to pay any attention on your blog or website and chances are very less that people will give you private ads but if the number is low then in lieu of that, you can ask for money.

    Okay.. So, for attracting advertisers I should get a good alexa rank.
    What do you think will be a good alexa rank with so many websites in the internet, below 50k ?

    Alexa rank is not a thing which can be created or borrowed.Alexa is a value ranking which shows the traffic flow towards your site.The good alexa rank for a particular site represent the popularity of that site.And popular site always got good ranking.So Alexa is also important as Page Rank is.

    SEO point of view NO BENEFITS..
    SMO point of view it is. It let you others how much traffic you're getting, If you're having decent traffic(good alexa) then it's easy for you to pitch anyone to purchase text link, banners space on your site, that's the time alexa matters.........

    Alexa ranking can help a small bit when it comes to SEO and traffic, but that's only if you are listed on a site that ranks sites by Alexa ranking. So instead of maybe your site being on page 10 due to having a poor Alexa ranking, having a good Alexa ranking could mean you are listed on page 1.

    Although saying this, many sites don't rank listings by Alexa and the ones that do are mainly general web directories which are not really that good in SEO these days.

    Hope this help you to improve your site ranking!! :)
