If you could persuade your existing visitors to install the Alexa toolbar, then that would boost your Alexa ranking without increasing your traffic. In fact, installing the toolbar yourself and visiting your site more often would help to a degree. I don't think Alexa ranking is particularly important, though. Too few people have the toolbar installed for it to be reliable, it's open to manipulation, and it tends to favour techy sites whose visitors are more likely to have the toolbar installed than other users.

Alexa is a company owned by the Amazon group and it aims to rank every single website on the Internet in terms of how much traffic it is receiving. When you install alexa toolbar on your browser, any site you visit displays its alexa ranking on the toolbar. The important aspects of installing the toolbar is when you click on the you can easily view the site's ranking and every site you visit is monitored by alexa and recorded. The lower the alexa ranking means the more heavily visited site.

Alexa ranking to a degree can be important for the advertisers who wish to find websites with high traffic and visitors which means potential customers.
However for the websites have specific content i.e "people loving red color" does not need high rank as people loving other colors will not be interested with this website.

Personally I don't think you need to pay more attention to your ranking on Alexa. As I said in my earlier post, their results are based only on people who use the Alexa toolbar. Now how many people could that be? Only a few people use it, any site owner can install the toolbar and surf his own site often to increase his Alexa ranking.
