    well a lot of people would say use Alexa, but in my own opinion, the traffic stats they show for a site, are nowhere near accurate, but i dont know of any other ways of knowing somebody elses stats.

    if the competitor is on adbrite, you can know the correct stats, perhaps you should spy on the log file of your competitors, usually the log files are in domain.com/logs etc!

    if the compititor uses some stat counter stuff on there site, the work will become lot easier!

    alexa won't help, but then you can make a general estimate!:)
