I know that Alexa rank is essential for a site as it helps to sell banners and links. I want Alexa Rank 1000 (and not 1,000,000) for promoting my site and placing it in the banners. I was told that Alexa only considers people who have incorporated the Alexa rank toolbar. I want to rank high now. Some advised me to add Alexa widget on the site, and make others visit this site and rate it. Also, put Alexa Redirects on the site, post it in Asian social networking websites, and have the Google Campaign qualified for the website owners because this will increase the traffic and increase the ranking. Are these tips appropriate to use?

Consider alexa 1000 impossible. If you get in below 100,000 seem yourself lucky. You will need loads of traffic to get anywhere near 100,000 leave alone 1000. No hard feelings but that is how competitive it is these days.
Yes, alexa only considers ranking from people who have the toolbar installed.

Get huge traffic Alexa depend upon traffic

So one more thing to note is that I think Alexa has a heavy weight of seo'ers/marketers in it's data. Not many normal people have alexa installed I think?

Alexa rank represents the approximate number of web sites in the world that have the popularity higher than the given site. It is expressed in relatively big numbers (the smaller the better). Alexa rank is computed and updated very frequently (often daily). However the new value also depends on the previous value to avoid rapid jumps. Unlike Google rank, it directly reflects the popularity and does not officially depend on links from other sites, directory inclusion, duplicate content and so on. Popularity is measured directly, collecting notifications from the visitors who have installed the Alexa toolbar. As only part of users have this toolbar, only relatively high (below 100 000 or about) Alexa ranks are reliable. Alexa rank measures different website characteristics than Google rank, and dramatic disagreements are common.

Alexa ranking is most of time considering the web site traffic. Alexa page ranking is different from Google and other search engine.

As per my knowledge alexa ranking is mostly concern with traffic. If site page have a high traffic the ranking of site is good. Try to concentrate on traffic to get a good alexa ranking.
