Is a website popular only if the Alexa is high?

Alexa Traffic can be used as a competitive intelligence tool but you should take into consideration the fact that its sample size of audience is too small; Just enter your competitor's site in the "Compare Sites" section and measure the results of your web marketing efforts in comparison with your competitors'.

Alexa-Ratings and other rating-systems try to follow how a viewers will observe your site. Once they have concluded the value of your website to a viewer they index this site as a result. That is why it is thus significant to have appropriate links.

according to me website popular if the Alexa rank is low. It is just a calculation of how much a site is popular on the internet. The lower the rank, means the site is very popular.

Alexa is a ranking systen that basically audits and makes public the frequency  of visits on various websites. The algorithm according to which Alexa traffic ranking is calculated, is simple. It is based on the amount of traffic recorded from users that have the Alexa toolbar installed over a period of three months.

The Popularity of a website doesn't depend only on Alexa. Alexa rank may down or increase it depends on the quality of content and the traffic to your website.
