As we know Alexa is a web information company the company is owned by Amazon. And we know what information it provides. Google is on top, Facebook is on second most famous website; this all is decided by Alexa. So it is not bad idea to promote your site on Alexa. Alexa gives a rank for your site and how you will work on your site your rank will be improving. More traffic to your site, more content on your site, the high Alexa rank of your site.
Alexa provides good analytics also for your site within your site rank.

Now second step to promote your site on Alexa is to sign up for an Alexa account, because if you have an account in Alexa you can give a good description for your site. To register click here . If you have an account in Facebook you can login with Facebook connect.
See below images. First is without Description and second is with description.
After login you have to claim your site as your own site, so you can write description and contract information for your website.
After login you can edit your existing site and add or remove sites as you can see below
But to add a new site you have to claim that site is yours.
When you enter your site name for claim it gives you a text file to upload in root directory of your site, I used same name and content for file name.
Or you can add meta tag to your website home page as i have got instructions for my website.
After login in Alexa you can write reviews for other site. And you can add a widget to your site asking them to write a review for your website on Alexa.

Well explained! I knew the differences between claiming a blog and adding a widget on Alexa. I have added a widget of Alexa on my blog but I have not claimed my blog till now. Is it necessary to claim a blog on Alexa to improve Alexa rank?
If you claim your blog on Alexa you can add custom description about your website including tags and services. It also has a contact section so people can contact you if you provide any contact information.
