Alexa rank is calculated using the data from those users who have the alexa toolbar installed in their browsers.
It can be indicative of how much more or less traffic one site gets compared to another.

Furthermore sites in certain niches, tend of have a higher alexa rank because people in those niches use the alexa toolbar more often.
Webmasters, bloggers and affiliate markets mostly use the alexa toolbar so the sites that they visit tend to have a higher alexa rank.

However alexa rank does not have anything to do with your site's ranking on search engines.
So you need not bother too much about it.

Simply Your website traffic mainly effects your alexa rank.

If you want to increase your website's alexa rank then you should increase your website traffic.

Thanks

Alexa's traffic rankings are based on the usage patterns of Alexa Toolbar users and data collected from other, diverse sources over a rolling 3 month period. A site's ranking is based on a combined measure of reach and page views. The number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day determines reach on the given day. Pageviews are the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. However, multiple requests for the same URL on the same day by the same user are counted as a single pageview. The site with the highest combination of users and pageviews is ranked #1.

don't be obsessed with Alexa Rank as its highly volatile with lot of factors that are out of a webmaster's control. A growing Alexa Rank does not necessarily mean that your website is doing bad, it might also be because of other websites out there doing well.

However, if you want to lower the Alexa Rank for your website, you can ask all your people to install Alexa toolbar on their systems and access your website. Within no time, you will see a drastic improvement in your Alexa Rank.

You would be doing good on all fronts if you work towards improving the quality of the content on your website and making the user experience better there by making the site sticky that will result in better site engagement times. This will eventually bring all the SEO goodies to your website and ultimately to you.

    Yup you are right and so is MR ALEXA. They all count on traffic. My words sounds like stupid for you but Let me share a real experience with you.

    http://muslim-academy.com/ This site was in 63k alexa with 800 visitors per day but it goes down to 189K with increase number of visitors per day.

    On the other hand I started one of my other site http://forumlist.info/ It gives people free list of forums online.Now its a value based site.I am getting max 50 visitors per day but my bounce rate is around 40% and time on site always above 3 min per visitor on average.

    In My experience that even Alexa the traffic estimator rank based looks into all factors like

    --Page views

    --Quality and diversity of these views

    --Bounce Rate

    --Time on site

    Reviews on alexa do not matter as much so do not waste your time doing it.

Factors, which any blogger can apply and get better Alexa ratings. But Still Only traffic is the most important thing that affects alexa ranking.
