Mission: Increase my Alexa Rank

This blog's current Alexa Rank is 1,169,908. Before the end of this month, I will try to bring it to at least 500,000. I never really paid attention to my Alexa ranking like I did to may Google Page Rank. But I have just learned that a good Aleaxa Rank may give me more income opportunities. Thus, I will now try to increase my Alexa Rank.

How are Alexa's traffic rankings determined?

Alexa's traffic rankings are based on the usage patterns of Alexa Toolbar users and data collected from other, diverse sources over a rolling 3 month period. A site's ranking is based on a combined measure of reach and pageviews. Reach is determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day. Pageviews are the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. However, multiple requests for the same URL on the same day by the same user are counted as a single pageview. The site with the highest combination of users and pageviews is ranked #1.

Alexa's traffic rankings are for top level domains only (e.g. domain.com). We do not provide separate rankings for subpages within a domain (e.g. http://www.domain.com/subpage.html) or subdomains (e.g. subdomain.domain.com) unless we are able to automatically identify them as personal home pages or blogs, like those hosted on Geocities and Tripod. If a site is identified as a personal home page or blog, its traffic ranking will have an asterisk (*) next to it: Personal Page Avg. Traffic Rank: 3,456*. Personal pages are ranked on the same scale as a regular domain, so a personal page ranked 3,456* is the 3,456th most popular page among Alexa users.[Source]

I have just installed Alexa Toolbar and added Alexa widget on this blog. According to some webmasters, this will help increasy Alexa Ranking. There are Autosurf programs that may help Alexa Rank but I am not inclined to join them. Ive heard Google doesn't like that and I better not mess up with the King. :-)
