I have seen many such websites that provide traffic information. Among the best I could mention websiteoutlook.com, statbrain.com and cubestat.com. Most if not all of them use Alexa traffic rank to calculate the traffic values. We have also developed a website to calculate traffic information, we base our calculations on Alexa rankings but also on some other various factors(one of the most important being the website's niche) and we believe our traffic calculations are way better than the above mentioned websites. Looking forward to your comments on www.estimix.com

I thought that Alexa and Compete both did an excellent job ranking my USMLE and ABSITE Review website at http://www.clinicalreview.com. Both of their numbers were in line with what my Stats paged showed.

So its safe to say that Quantcast and compete and are saying a lesser amount of people are visiting any given site?

My website went up minimally, however, now it is on a steady downward change, even though the number of alexa users has gone up, and the number of overall users has gone up. WTF? Any ideas?

We have seen similar errors in Compete and Alexa for our traffic court website. Our traffic has gone up dramatically in the last month (per Google Analytics), yet the stats on Alexa and Compete show us as flat or declining.

Compete underestimates us by two-thirds, but at least when our traffic goes up, their estimate goes up (and when traffic goes down, their estimate goes down).

Alexa has a mind of its own and doesn’t seem to represent reality at all, as represented by our logs and by Google Analytics and other log analysis programs.

Quantcast has us underestimated by about 60%, but the trend seems accurate.

Alexa is just broken, and I can’t believe Jeff Bezos is letting the company rot. They have thrown away their headstart. And that silly feud with Statsaholic: what a distraction, given the opportunity that they should be concentrating on.

While I am a little late to this topic, I’ve been watching certain sites that are quantified by Quantcast who seem to get next to no visitors, but Quantcast keeps moving them up in rank.
archimedes-lab.org is listed as having had one hit since Jan 23, but estimated to have 10k unique US visitors a month. Rank 138,983.
pimpnflyguy.com shows 5,147 US visitors with no more then 4 visitors a day. Rank 242,598 (Up 4k from yesterday)
betterworld.net shows 4,677 US visitors with no more then 25 visits a day. Rank 264,460.
Any of this making sense?

While Quantcast and Compete both claim to deliver demographics information, it’s estimated, not validated. And advertisers have to look up zillions of sites and compile that information themselves to take to publishers before they buy ads. There is only one company that can provide validated demographic information AND ad network partners, so advertisers can search for their target audience and make an ad buy at the same time. Internet research company IPRO. IPRO recently launched their advertising marketplace, SPOTSITE, where advertisers can shop for specific demographics across the thousands of researched web sites.

here is a list of the top popular blogs listed by Technorati about 20 of them make their stats public. They represent a wide range of subjects

You can make a comparison with the estimates of Compete and Quantcast estimations to see which is the most accuarte

We’ve been very impressed with Quantcast. I’ve been testing their code across WordPress.com blogs and its numbers are more accurate than any other public measure I’ve seen and the demographic data it provides is really interesting.

I also like how they retroactively correct and re-rank sites based on new data that they get in. It’s in everyone’s interest to have the most accurate data out there as possible.

Adam, I looked at my moderation records, and there’s nothing in the queue. Not sure what happened. You can try again, or you can send me the graphics, and I’ll post manually.

Andrew:

Yes, we do offer an API. The first version of our API will go live next week. I am actually a registered member of Competitious, so I would be happy to talk about providing access. Just shoot me an email (see previous post for my address).

Best,
