[Emilio]

I do this way regularly in next days but its behaving strange when Alexa ranking is stop increasing to better points. I'm little confused! Anyone please share how website's Alexa rank works?

What benefit did you get after improving your alexa ranking?

Now this is the question you need to be asking yourself. Did your website generate any money after increasing the alexa rank? Did you get subscribers?

If not then why would you waste your precious time to improve your Alexa rank?

All alexa does is to check the popularity of your website among other competitor websites/blogs in your specified niche/category and you'll need a premium account to get all the stats (it's simply an analytics toolkit). So forget about increasing the alexa rank and focus on generating revenue and popularizing your website (which will automatically improve your alexa rank).

That's just my 2 cents.
