In world, webmasters use various tools and portals to measure site popularity. Generally
speaking, site popularity can be measured in two ways:
Link Popularity - How many resources are linking to one single site.
Traffic - How many people visit your site.
The tool that measures link popularity is Google’s PageRank. And as most of you know, PR is
Google’s method for measuring site importance on a scale from 0 - 10 (10 is the highest). On the
other hand, the tool that measures traffic is Alexa Rank
what Alexa Rank is ?
Alexa computes traffic rankings by analyzing the Web usage of millions of Alexa
Toolbar users. The information is sorted, sifted, counted, and computed,
until, finally, we get the traffic rankings shown in the Alexa service.
Although, a lot of webmasters do not trust Alexa Rank, there is nothing currently that’s better than
Alexa and that’s why many have no choice rather than to use it.the lower your Alexa Rank is the more popular your site is.
From honest opinion as i am not ranked yet in google page rank yet so i found alexa rank is my best guide to me for pricing my site when going to do ads that mean your alexa rank have value while selling ads
I post before about how to boost your rank and i am going to say again
Download and use the Alexa Toolbar. Remember that Alexa assigns rank to specific site according to their Toolbar. In other words, your site will have lower rankings (higher traffic) if your visitors use Alexa Toolbar. So why not to use Alexa Toolbar and increase your rankings for free?
Use Alexa Rank Widget on your directory. The Alexa Widgets help Alexa track your visitors and thus it helps to assign your lower Alexa Rank. Moreover, a single click on the widget is considered as a single unique visitor
Get reviews on Alexa. Ask visitors/friends/family members to review your site on Alexa. By getting reviews on Alexa you are showing to Alexa that your site exists and is active and thusAlexa will index it more frequently and assign lower Alexa Rank
A little bit of yourself in this section. There are 3 three text graphics associated to this section; Subscribe me, Advertisements and About Me. I hope either one will suit your need.

If you depend on link or site selling as a form of monetization you’ll definitely want to increase your http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.fortunehotels.in Alexa rank, because it’ll increase your bargaining power when it comes to ad pricing.
