Getting alexa rank is simple, a data link provide by alexa only needs the domain name and then it return xml data including the rank we want, so I make a php function to do this task.

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. <?
  2. function Get_Alexa_Rank($domain)
  3. {
  4.     $alexa = "http://data.alexa.com/data?cli=10&dat=s&url=%s";
  5.     $request_url =  sprintf($alexa, urlencode($domain));
  6.  
  7.  
  8.     $xml = simplexml_load_file($request_url);
  9.  
  10.     if (!isset($xml->SD[1])) {
  11.         return FALSE;
  12.     }
  13.     $nodeAttributes = $xml->SD[1]->POPULARITY->attributes();
  14.     $text = (int) $nodeAttributes['TEXT'];
  15.  
  16.     return $text;
  17. }
  18.  
  19.  
  20. //example:
  21. echo "The alexa rank for Google is :". Get_Alexa_Rank('google.com') ."<BR>";
  22. echo "The alexa rank for blogger is :". Get_Alexa_Rank('blogger.com') ."<BR>";
