Sorry to hurt your feeling but someone has to do it.
In alexa, lower is always better.
Did you look at google?

No this is not good at all.

Sorry but this is very low.

You can go to this link to find out information on how ranks are determined: http://pages.alexa.com/exec/faqsidos/help/index.html?index=1

I will briefly summarize what it says.

Alexa gathers information from the users of the alexa toolbar. It monitors how much people who use it go to that particular domain. The more they go to it and the more people (different) go to it then you get a lower ranking which is actually better such as 1st place is better then 2nd place.

A good trafficed domain is at least under the 1 million mark and usually should get around the 200000 and under.

Hope this helps.

That is the Alexa traffic rank.
1st place is definitely better than 1000th place.

Actually there is more to it, but GENERALLY, to simplify, the numbers mean your site is the 5,008,803rd most visited site on the net (stats taken among alexa users). Not great really.

NamePros for example is currently the 4,229 most visited site
which is very good.

I don't really know how to use alexa or overture

Here is what the fuss over Overture is about:
They have a very useful tool that will tell you the number of times a keyword is searched for in a particular month.

Go to overture
If you type in your domain "intentions", you will see that it has the number 564 next to it. That's pretty good. The higher the number the better, obviously, because more people are actually looking for that term.

And here's the tricky (but profitable) part:
Find a way to take advantage of those searchers! :o
