    To track visitors of your website, I highly suggest Google analytics :D

    I don't think so.Alexa not show real status.
    Alexa data depends on its tool bar installation.

    Alexa ranks are no way close to real traffic stats, and as already suggested you should opt for GA or statcounter code to check the actual traffic, source, destination and other several parameters. One can also install AWStat or other open source tools.

    Alexa ranking depends upon users who have installed
    a. Alexa widget on site
    b. Alexa toolbar for browser

    So if a site has 100 users and only 10 users had alexa toolbar installed, alexa would assume that you only had 10 (+/- some factors) visitors which is not true!!!

    IMHO Alexa is terrible tool - almost no use in the information provided. I use it only if the data can help to convince the potential client.

    Google Analytics is by far the best. You can see all kinds of metrics using that tool, I love it. Also check out their website optimizer tool, you can use this for split-testing and make sure your site is really optimized.

    I have to agree, Google Analytics is superior. It is free, easy to use and gives you great information.

    As far as I used Alexa Rank., it doesn't give you the exact result else it's give you a result which is only approximately to the true result.

    No! Alexa ranking is never accurate. It can be easily manipulated for as long as you have the toolbar installed. I suggest you rely only on the stats given by Google Analytics.
