Alexa is important to know popularity, reviews for your webpage it will help to promote your blog/website/product and most advertisers will see/determine data from the alexa to know about traffic. It is very important to monetize your blog. The lower alexa rank is better for your blog/website. Mine started with 8 digits and lowered to 6 digits but 4 digit is much more better. You can check alexa rank by widget or SEO book toolbar for FF or directly from your alexa account.
How to submit your website/blog to Alexa with step by step guide: This tutorial was written while I was submitting my kids blog Education Free to alexa.

Upload the file to the root directory of your site.
Click on blue button stating”Verify the file on your site”
Option 2: This option is easy and non-techique people can do it easily

14) You will see message: Congratulations! You have claimed http://your site name/ with green checkmark. You are done, Now alexa will track how many domain linking with your site, major search querries, same site as you etc in this free Intro plan.
