Google PR and Alexa rank is different mainly because alexa focuses on the traffic on a specific website, but for google PR there's a lot of factors, I would name a few so that would be if the site is properly SEO optimized (that includes submitting data to webmaster tools,proper permalinks/redirection) and not using any black hat methods (cause google not to trust your site), page load, quality contents and not just duplicating contents of other sites, etc.

Google calculates PageRank value from the quality of inbound links, higher the value of PR of linking page, better would be the Google PR for your Website.

However, Alexa score depends on the traffic of the Website, more the traffic of your Website, better is the Alexa Rank.

I think their website traffic is more than the website backlinks. So i suggest you build quality backlinks to gain good pagerank.

As mentioned by the members, page rank depends on the quantity as well as quality of back links to your web site, while Alexa ranking depends on the amount of traffic your web site receive.

Google Page Rank and Alexa Rank both are different and depends on different parameters Google Page rank measure of quality of website due to number of back link, content including but Alexa rank is traffic rank of website that mean number of active users at website on daily basis.

Google and Alexa are two different thing, if you rank higher in Alexa maybe because it was indexed there, you should also work in seo thing to get your site rank on Google.

Google page rank and Alexa are very different because Alexa focuses only on traffic that particular site has and google ranking focuses on the way you optimize your site.
