Comments on: Alexa.com vs Compete.com – Which Measures Web Traffic Better? http://www.traffic-is-king.com/alexacom-vs-competecom-which-measures-web-traffic-better/ Traffic Generating Tips & Tutorials Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:59:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Referrals http://www.traffic-is-king.com/alexacom-vs-competecom-which-measures-web-traffic-better/comment-page-1/#comment-1109 Referrals Mon, 21 Mar 2011 04:08:18 +0000 http://www.traffic-is-king.com/?p=72#comment-1109 I've been aware of Compete for some time but still use Alexa every time I want to get a rough idea of traffic. Unless you are looking at a very popular site all you are getting from it is that one site is more popular than another. For that it's great. Anything else not so much. Chris I’ve been aware of Compete for some time but still use Alexa every time I want to get a rough idea of traffic. Unless you are looking at a very popular site all you are getting from it is that one site is more popular than another. For that it’s great. Anything else not so much.

I tend to use Quantcast,Alexa and Compete together, in order to get an estimation of the incoming traffic. However,I have noticed that there is a big difference in the numbers provided by Alexa and Compete. Demographic data and traffic sources are also very interesting.

We actually had 3103 unique visitors. We track IP addresses, operating systems, cities, states, page views, unique visitors, returning visitors, and more. We know, beyond any doubt, how many visitors we have. That makes their margin of error 94%. What is the point in paying any attention to them? That is like Car and Driver indicating that the top speed of a Corvette is 9 miles an hour. Quantcast has a tool on our site that actually measures visitors and they reported about 2,400 unique visits during the same period. We, however, have not added their tool to every landing page.
