    Hi,

    What is the exact diff between the compete & the google analytics because in google analytics the total unique visitors are only 2000 & in compete it shows the 12,000 unique visitors for last month march only.. Why that much of big difference here?? what compete & google analytics are considering to see the visitors??

    Thanks in advance

    As I understand it the google results are based on google traffic, the compete results are based on the browsing habits of a large population of users in the US (around 2 Million of them) who feed their viewing habits back to compete who then multiply this figure by the 'internet population' to calculate a result.

    As google has a considerably larger user base of actual data then I would suggest that the accuracy of the google results is greater, the compeet results is still useful when comparing your sites traffic with others in your demographic though :)

    Compete is just an estimate, and I've seen it be wrong by an order of magnitude.

    I'm not Agree with News Forum bcz just think if you have not ranking but you can paid like $1000 per month and get 5000 traffic but if you can stop paid you can get 0 traffic regular traffic based on ranking if you have good ranking and good PR so you can get good result in sort time and if you can get traffic you can get regular traffic daily
