Alexa is helpful for showing that the site is viewed by people. It just gives some numbers to attract people also in these days people buy links that have lower alexa rank.
If you have a lowered alexa rank site ex: directory then people comes to your directory and start submitting.

To be honest with you, I think Alexa Rank just sucks!

Why? Because alexa compiles its data from people who use alexa toolbar. If you compare the total number of internet users to the number of people who use alexa toolbar, the percentage will be something like 0.0001%

I did a detailed analysis of alexa rank in one of my blog posts, in which I checked and analyzed alexa ranks of about 400 websites from 16 categories on Alexa.com

The results I got were kind of what I was expecting - it is just useless.

I stopped worrying about alexa rank a long time ago. I don't even remember when was the last time I checked alexa rank of my personal blog

So I would honestly recommend that you just forget about alexa rank and focus on what really matters.

Once your website start receiving highest traffic from USA, then you'll be able to see alexa rank for USA. Global Alexa rank is for every website, but country wise alexa rank shows for the country from where it is getting highest number of visitors.

Why would you even care about Alexa ranking? Alexa doesnt matter and Page rank is dead already. There are lots of people asking for improving Alexa ranking here, Startups should start selling service called "Alexa Rank Improving Service" to make some money initially.

  Question 22.
  
  Which of the following facts about Alexa are correct ?
  
  a.*Alexa provides free data on relative website visitors traffic
  b. Alexa and Quancast provide information on visitors household income
  c.Alexa is biased towards US based traffic
  d.Quantcast only track people who have installed the quantcast toolbar
  
  e. Alexa has got absolutely nothing to do with SEO.
  f. Alexa is useless for SEO
  g. Alexa rank has no bearing on SEO at all
  h. Anyone worrying about Alexa rank for SEO is mad
  i. If x billion people with the Alexa toolbar installed visited best-shower-curtain-reviews-azerbaijan.org it would rank number 1.
  j. If x billion people without the Alexa toolbar installed visited best-shower-curtain-reviews-azerbaijan.org it wouldn't rank at all.
  k. Alexa is not an SEO metric
  l. As an SEO executive I should put all thought of Alexa ranking out of my head.
  m. Alexa attracts over 6 million unique visitors per month.
  n. Alexa statistics misguides over 6 million unique visitors per month, many of whom find their way to the Warrior Forum.
  o. Alexa means diddly-squit for SEO
  p. Alexa is a very professional company.
  
  Okay so I made up E to O
  
  Thanks

Why are you worrying about Alexa Rank that has no impact in traffic/leads etc

The alexa rank is just based on how many people who installed Alexa and visited your website in the last 3 months.

You cannot see your Alexa rank in the US because the majority of your traffic is coming from Bangladesh.

Why do you still pay so much attention to Alexa? It won't help you for anything, moreover the ranking is not accurate at all (because it only counts the number of visitors that have their toolbar installed!)

In my opinion, Alexa is garbage. Their data, like so many others, comes from spyware, mostly toolbars. The data they collect is no way representative of anything. Also, like AHREFS and others, people assume this information is accurate and in step with google. It isn't. It can't ever be.

For one thing, much of their information comes from their own crawlers. But many sites, especially busy ones, will block unwanted crawlers. Sites like AHREF and Alexa will show skewed data for these sites because THEY CANT GET ANY.

Furthermore, google ranks based on many things, not the least of which is GA which is present on most robust sites. This gives Google even more valuable information about every page and action on a site that firms like Alexa will NEVER have access to.

Alexa is garbage spyware that knowingly and intentionally misleads people in order to gather skewed data they can sell to uneducated buyers for profit.

Alexa just gives you traffic stats about a web site on how popular it is and how many people visit. Your alexa ranking can easily be manipulated and wont improve your SEO as far as actual serp rankings is concerned.

Your SEO strategy depends on whether you are promoting a web site locally, nationally or internationally.
