    compete.com generally gives some good estimates.

    I have yet to find an accurate measurement of potential traffic other than dabbling in a PPC campaign for the keywords you are contemplating an optimization campaign for.

    Well ,

    Alexa is really the best one and Compete.com , Quantcast.com are very good as well

    With Quantcast you can always check for daily , weekly, monthly visitors / people
    And many other options to verify
    http://www.quantcast.com/docs/display/info/How+to+Read+Our+Reports

    Compete.com tells you also the traffic count and specifies US traffic as well

    Thanks
