    Is it not only important if you are planning to sell said website? Not many that I know of are actually all that worried about alexa rank.

    Yes alexa ranking is important.
    Actually alexa helps to guess about a site's amount of visitor. Mean alexa indicate a sites traffic rank. It will not help you to get rank for your keywords on search engine. But google pr indicate your sites keywords ranking position.
    So you no need to try improve alexa ranking. Just try to increase quality backlink. Then automatically you will reach on best and appropriate position on search engine. And you will receive decent amount of visitor from search engine. Then your alexa ranking will improve automatically
    Honesty is the best policy. If you can lead a honest life must you will be rewarded any of time in future for sure

    Alexa rankings are being used increasingly to leverage blogs, despite the fact that the numbers can be horrendously manipulated.

    I don't think it has any value SEO wise. It doesn't effect your Google SERP or any other SERP. But it can matter if you going to sell a site. Again even for that its not very important coz Alexa rank can be manipulated pretty easily.

    As per my experience, Alexa the traffic to a site. It has no affect on SEO and also remember that Alexa rankings can be very inaccurate.

    There are too many search engines which provide rankings and other than Search Engines there are various other sources(e.g. Alexa Ranking by Alexa Inc.,Moz Rank by SEOmoz.com etc.)which provides rankings of their own.

    According to me Alexa rank is important. If you are planning to sell your website then start improving alexa rank. Lots of buyers check the alexa rank before buying websites.

    Alexa is more important. Alexa is a web directory and provides free traffic metrics, search analytics, demographics, and more. Alexa ranking depends upon how many visitors you get daily.

    Importance of Alexa rank is limited. It doesn't give accurate information. It only provides information about users who have alexa toolbar installed in their web browser.

    I also think that the importance is limited. Yes Alexa helps to see some information but it's not always accurate. I don't use alexa except for website reviews.

    Alexa rank is important. A lot of website buyers check alexa traffic and rank before purchasing revenue generating websites.

    Alexa rank is so important as you are thinking but not more than Google Page Rank.

    Yeah I also think Alexa ranking is very important for a blog or website because it shows how popular your site in terms of Traffic.

    BTW Alexa rank can be easily manipulated. Just buy some cheap traffic and you will get better Alexa ranking. Not a good measure...

    Alexa ranking is extremely essential measure to determine the position of the website. It shows the ranking of a website in accordance to the incoming traffic. In most of the cases people consider using a website on the basis of the Alexa ranking.

    Alexa ranking is important if you want to sell your website or selling ads spaces on your site. otherwise alexa does not tell you any solid details. A site with few hundred visiters daily can even get less than 50K alexa
