    there are many tools available but Alexa is better than all of these,it is better to rely on Google analytic for accuracy.

    There are several Alexa competitors (Quantcast, Compete, Netcraft), you can see their ranks all-in-one using Site Information Tool. But keep in mind that their audience could vary, so ranks and estimations too - there are no "100% true" external data source.

    quantcast seriously gives you a lot of information, i use it often. alexa doesn't update for sometimes more than week, which can be especially frustrating when you want to pull data weekly. quantcast sometimes doesn't update for awhile either, but like it has been said, something is better than nothing.

    Google analytics is the best, you should try it as it gives detailed information.

    Alexa does not actually give accurate results, and I think that there is something wrong, and I hope to find a replacement soon

    Maybe a better solution to the Alexa problem would be to simply create a composite score that combines rankings from Alexa, Ranking.com, and Compete.com (and others?).

    try Compete. http://www.compete.com but it's also inaccurate like Alexa. Well, the fact is, there is no accurate traffic metric online.
