I have a somewhat high Alexa rank - what does that mean?

Well i currently have a rank of 122,383 on Alexa

I somewhat understand if i have a high google page rank *currently a 3* i will be pretty high on google searches. I have no clue what a high Alexa rank will do for me

No. Alexa ranking won't help you on search engines. It will allow you to charge more for advertising though in most cases.

From myf things, the lower your alexa rank, the better your site is doing

But how does this translate to sales and traffic

Well alexa rank is in some way related to the reach of your site but your best judge of how well your site is doing is your search engine results page position for your chosen keywords
