Too many people are concerend about getting an alexa rating. i think that if you get on there, all good to you but if you dont well don't worry about it. I look at PR not alexa rating.
i dont know why you would look at PR. that's even sillier than alexa. at least with alexa you know how they are ranking people and where the anomolies are. PR is so unpredictable and makes absolutely no sense. i've had sites with zero backlinks have higher pr than a site with a few hundred backlinks for decent pr sites. you've got to look at everything with a potential site to link with. what exactly are you hoping to accomplish? if you want to see that little PR bar go up or the Alexa rating go up you do different things. Neither pays the bills at the end of the month so be sure to add good content, properly SEO, build up backlinks, and run a good ad campaign.
one problem i find with that, if you have a company website i feel that pr and alexa ratings seem to go up, if you have an off topic website like i own its much more difficult to become a high ranking website in alexa and also google PR. I made a F1 website a few months ago, i hired someone to do the SEO for me within 8 months i had a PR of 3, i had a rubbish alexa rating (cant remember what) also i was getting over 1000 uniques a day.
