    Alexa rank is based on the amount of people who view your site using the Alexa tool bar. This is what makes the Alexa ranking system flaud.

    1) Alexa is not a search engine

    2) Alexa goes on traffic, not backlinks. You have to have traffic to your site.

    As alexa is a result of traffic, concentrate on getting more traffic. That's what is important. Not the alexa number.

    Alexa rank is not based only on traffic from their company toolbar. Many small websites create their own toolbars via Alexa’s service and people who use it on that way (even if they maybe know it) create traffic too. In Serbia (where I live), it’s popular that kind of creating toolbars.
    Also, Alexa give information of how their system works, so anybody can create his own toolbar or any add-on which sends traffic to Alexa.
    I use one kind of that. It’s Search Status - excellent Firefox SEO Toolbar Extension. It’s excellent tool for any web developer. Before it, I never use any Alexa toolbar, but now I send traffic via Search Status.

    Alexa is just a way to measure the size of your penis. Not much substance to it IMO.

    The base of Alexa ranking is traffic. Then comes their toolbar. Generally speaking, Alexa is exceptionally flawed at any rank over 50,000 because they are dealing with the stats of the big boys, mostly over the top 5000. However, Alexa rank is extremely important in getting private advertisers and even advertisers through various ad networks. If money making is an issue for you, specially through private ads or network based ads other than Google or Yahoo, then Alexa should be one of your many elements to consider on beside everything else.
