Alexa ranking simply depends on the number of people who have downloaded the Alexa tool bar. If your visitors are not the type who have downloaded the toolbar, nor are they aware of Alexa, you'd get poor rankings in Alexa.

However, there are ways to improve your rankings in Alexa.

1 - download the toolbar in Alexa and make sure that your PCs have your homepage as the default homepage. Within a couple of months, you will see a marked improvement in your Alexa rankings

2 - use Alexa redirection URL in your site

3 - use tools that manipulate Alexa

Is Alexa important? If you have advertisers who think highly of Alexa or thinks it is correct, then boosting Alexa rankings can have its value. Below the 10,000 rank Alexa seems to be more accurate but anything above that -- especially above the 100,000 the data is fishy at best

Alexa ranking of a website depends on
(a) reach - No. of unique visitors using Alexa tool bar visiting your site
(b) No. of pages each visitor opens
So Alexa Ranking depends on these two things.
To improve your Alexa Ranking do the following
(1) Download Alexa tool bar and install it, whenever you open your site open it using IE installed with Alexa tool bar
(2) Encourage your friends and visitors to download and install Alexa tool bar.
(3) Use redirect through alexa.com for example
http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.alexarankingboost.com
to open your site

Actually...Alexa rankings are nothing to be concerned about. They only monitor web site traffic based on those who have their tool bar when they view web sites.

Alexa is widely tooted as a must use tool by many marketing gurus. The problems with Alexa are:

Alexa does not get much direct traffic and has a limited reach with it’s toolbar

a small change in site visitors can represent a huge change in Alexa rating

Alexa is biased toward webmaster traffic

many times new webmasters are only tracking themselves visiting their own site

Why do many marketing hucksters heavily promote Alexa? Usually one of the following reasons:
ignorance

if you install the Alexa toolbar and then watch your own Alexa rating quickly rise as you surf your own site it is easy for me to tell you that you are learning quickly and seeing great results, thus it is easy to sell my customers results as being some of the best on the market

if many people who visit my site about marketing install the Alexa toolbar then my Alexa rating would go exceptionally high

the marketers may associate their own rise in success with their increasing Alexa ranking although it happens to be more of a coincidence than a direct correlation

A lower Alexa number means a greater level of traffic, and the traffic drops off logarithmically. You can fake a good Alexa score using various techniques, but if it shows your rankings in the millions then your site likely has next to no traffic.

Alexa by itself does not mean that much, but it simply provides a rough snapshot of what is going on. It can be spammed, but if a site has a ranking in the millions then it likely has little traffic. It is also hard to compare sites in different industries. For example, if I created a site about weight loss there would be many more people searching for it than a site about knitting. Also, you shouldn’t forget the webmaster bias the tool has, which means my site will have a higher Alexa rating than it should
