    Alexa having some limits in report preparing. So i prefer to use Google Analytic which is best to trace all our traffic reports.

    Actually it does. Though they claim to have other methods of calculating the Alexa Rank as well.

    Alexa is extremely inaccurate. It only uses data collected from its' toolbars, which is only a fraction of total internet users.
