In my experience, PR rankings were easier to get than traffic.

site was typical. Get an idea, create a site, add content and then promote. Promotion included gradually adding it as a sitewide link in my other blogs. I did this by adding a static link in the blog post theme in the comment file.The site went to PR2 this way. Not great, but Ok if I wanted to sell a link (which I do not bother with – way too much bother for the $).
As an incidental (feeder) site, this blog kind of just ‘sat there’. Along came this little game, so I threw it into the mix. But google also came along and ‘mixed things up’ with these recent updates. Boom – PR down to 1.
To try and recover, when the opportunity presented itself, I removed and/or adjusted the sitewide links. The Alexa rank went from 24 million to 8 million (whoopee <- sarcastic) Adding the site link here also proably helped (hey, when it's bad - anything helps). But still minimal traffic (even with 1,100 google indexed pages and a pr1 – which don’t mean a lot). Onward!!
I belive you done quite well, lets keep in mind in the end no one really knows googles algarithms.
I am of the belief that alexa counts, it has to be in there system , no one knows the actual true google system. I believe Alexa must be in there.
I think you contine and stay with your alexa rank improvments – if you stop and your alexa rank goes back up may effect you – google is probally computing it waiting stick with alexa hold it .
I think your pr will go back up and with your alexa ranking hold both, i stay stick with the high alexa ranking bud. Don’t let your alexa ranking drop continue on with it not a fluke i recon if i’m right your pr may go up again.
I say continue on with your alexa rank increase hopefully your pr goes back or even further ahead.
I think you have done a great job, don’t forget u still have a pr aswell as a great alexa and closing in.
IMO people knock alexa rankings but if it didn’t mean anything then it would effect seo of the highest traffic sites.
I sumwat dissagree I think alexa has a big part, maybe even googles biggest secret in determination.
Thats just my thoughts, in terms of logic, IMO i think google counts alexa rank.
