How can pageviews differ very much for 2 sites that have nearly the same global ranking in Alexa?

I have nearly the same global ranking but my pageviews are 1/50th of my comparison.

What is it in the measure that accounts for the unexpected proximity in global ranking when pageviews differ by factor 50?

The data is:

Site 1: My site. Global ranking 105 000. Local ranking 10 000 in India. My google analytics reports that I have abt 100 daily visitors and abt 800 daily pageviews.

Site 2, the comparison, has global ranking 98 000 in Alexa but with 7000 daily visitors and 50 000 daily pageviews. Local ranking 51 in Tanzania.

How can the global rank not differ that much when pageviews and visitors differ that much?

Alexa rank is measuring the rank, according to the number of people visited your website and who have the Alexa toolbar (or any other SEO toolbar with Alexa rank tracker) installed. And who has such toolbars nowadays? mainly SEOs and webmasters. If your targeted audience isn't one of them, then your Alexa rank will be low, but visits high
