Page Rank and Alexa Rank are two important indicators to judge the quality and the popularity respectively of a website. Search Engines results are also influenced significantly on these two indicators.
Kindly suggest as to what are the best ways to improve the Page Rank and Alexa Rank of a website in the short run?
PageRank is a Google metric, based solely on the number and quality of inbound links to your site. It is certainly used in ranking a site, but Google has been saying since 2009 that itās not the most important thing for webmasters to focus on. To this end, they have long since removed it from search console (used to be GWT) and they no longer issue regular public updates.
What this means, of course, is that there is no way to know what your PR is with any degree of accuracy, so you would be best advised to follow Googleās own advice and not obsess about it.

Alexa Rank is, of course, a metric used by Alexa. As far as I know, no search engine uses this in its ranking algorithm. It is, in any case, fairly inaccurate. Unless you are a paid member and have their analytics code installed on your site, your data will be estimated. Even if you do have their code installed, your ranking will effectively be estimated, as your site is compared with sites whose data is estimated.

I presume youāre suggesting these as methods for creating backlinks, as that is the only thing which will influence PageRank.
Clearly, you havenāt read Googleās guidelines. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66356?hl=en Links which you can place yourself are regarded as of little worth, and if it is clear they are created with the intention of manipulating PR, then they may lead to your site being penalised. (They may also lead to your account being banned in whichever forum or blog youāve been Spamming.) Reputable sites follow Googleās guidelines and mark such user-submitted links as nofollow (as we do on this forum), so they will be useless as backlinks in any case.
Inbound links or back links are very essential for improving the Google Page Rank. But what is the minimum number of inbound links or back links t improve the Google page rank? Can someone suggest accordingly?
Donāt worry about Page Rank as it plays almost no role in seo results - concentrate on good, quality content.
Iām sure there will be various āexpertsā who will quote definitive numbers, but unless those are backed up by an authoritative source, such numbers are no more than idle speculation.
Google is more interested in the quality of inbound links than the quantity.
Back when Google published page rank values for pages the numbers where assigned logarithmically.
I of course donāt know the exact numbers, but it was something like
to get to:
pr 1 10 links
pr 2 100 links
pr 3 1000 links
pr 4 10000 links
In other words, an increasingly larger number of links was needed to go up each pr number.
But donāt take it from me, more accurate historical information about what Google used to do in the past can be found from Google source references.
Good primary information.

Thanks.
@maleque456: I have the impression from this and your other topics that you are new to SEO and perhaps not finding your information from the most reliable sources. I would highly recommend that you read Googleās āSearch Engine Optimization Starter Guideā, which will give you good guidance on the most important things to concentrate on, rather than some of the myths and half-truths which circulate on the Internet.
I donāt know why every one saying page rank. Now a days page ranks are obsolete. See the reference - http://searchengineland.com/rip-google-pagerank-retrospective-244286
But alexa rank is an important factor - find the detail here - http://blog.alexa.com/improving-your-alexa-rank/
Try to get high quality back links from the websites of your niche. secondly use the social media platforms for branding and publicity
For what? The OP believes it influences search engine rankings, and Iāve already said it does not. Why do you believe it to be important? As I mentioned, even if you add their analytics code to your site, you are being ranked against sites which are not using that code, and whose stats are being estimated. Because of this, you can never have a truly accurate indication of your siteās performance.
Are you suggesting that this improves either PageRank or Alexa Ranking (which are the subjects of this discussion)? If so, please could you explain how.
I do get your point. But regarding the creation of āback linksā how will I be able to judge the site when google has stopped the āpage rankā features? It is the option of Alexa that helps me in judging the quality of the sites in these circumstances. As a matter of fact the better the quality of Alexa, the more the traffic in respect to a site along with the overall quality.
Thatās the point. You donāt need to judge anything, because you should no longer be doing that kind of link-building. Links should be earned because of the quality of your content, not placed yourself.
I have all these steps except alexa site widget ā¦
because as per the alexa blog alexa will remove the widget option till the mid October 2016
and there is continuous fluctuation in the alexa ranking of my site ā¦
please tell me if i can do anything else
waiting for reply
there is no instant way to be able to rank high, as a beginner I only focus on the content of the website and advertise on the Internet advertising media.
