What does mean by Alexa Ranking?
It is a ranking system of any website based on its ranking schema on the level of traffic each website receives from the number of people who visit a website.
The actual Definition as below:
The traffic rank is based on three months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of Alexa Toolbar users and is a combined measure of page views and users (reach). As a first step, Alexa computes the reach and number of page views for all sites on the Web on a daily basis.The main Alexa traffic rank is based on the geometric mean of these two quantities averaged over time (so that the rank of a site reflects both the number of users who visit that site as well as the number of pages on the site viewed by those users).

Why it is necessary to increase Alexa ranking? 
Many Webmasters, advertisers and ad networks use blog’s Alexa rank to determine the worth of a link on the website.

Problems with the Alexa Rank:
Many have indicated that Alexa is a vastly inaccurate method of measuring a website’s reach, traffic and potential.It is a silly way to measure web traffic.

Great link-worthy content will leads to an natural increase in site traffic and is an excellent way to passively increase your Alexa rank.The Alexa rank is measured according to the amount of users who’ve visited a website.It is important to emphasize that you should devote most of your efforts in growing your site audience.

Tips to get start:
