Alexa rank wont help you get more visitors or make more money from those visitors.
It is relatively easy to jump up in rank - just visit your site, and view lots of pages, with the Alexa toolbar enabled. Get your friends to do the same.
I pushed one of my sites from a very 4,000,000 or so into about 70,000 weekly rank, just be redesigning it and testing out the new design making sure it all worked.
Did that increase in Alexa rank benefit me at all - NO!!
Some niches wont rank well at all, particularly if your target market are non tech savvy and don't install the toolbar. A lot of webmasters install the toolbar which is why internet marketing websites will do particularly well.
So my advice, worry about traffic rather than Alexa.
