Hi,
Well, I never based on them, but total all - both are good.
Compete more into US traffic and Alexa are Global webmasters using their tool.

Re: Which one is best??? Alexa or compete

I don't have faith in either. Alexa can be good for trends within a particular site, but it's horrible for comparing sites ... especially sites in different niches (even within the same industry).

I am a Webmaster from many years and for me Alexa and Compete ranking are not important so much. And I don't have faith in either. For me the main thing (when you make SEO) is to earn more money from Internet and to be in Top 10 for Google.

Neither are great but at least Compete gives you an estimate of monthly uniques...which might be worth something to someone somewhere.

Alexa tool has no good result, it can be manipulated. About compete, less people are using this tool.

Compete's numbers are also based on sketchy estimates, or so I hear. Quantcast has the same issue -- too many blind spots. But, there are few better alternatives...
