    Most hosting service control panel have awstats & webalizer. Either one of these would do great.

    Otherwise, you can consider Google Analytics.

    Thanks.

    I would use google analytics if i was you, aswell as this you can use awstats but as the other guy has said most hosting services provide stats aswell. Perhaps use them all to able you to receive the most focused traffic information.
    If your monetizing your website, with something like adbrite or google adsense they have there own stats on there too.

    Good luck.

    Will.

    Not any way that I can think of besides Alexa. If there is, we don't have to trouble ourselves to use webalizer/awstats/analytics.

    In my opinion, Alexa tells you only the rough figure but not accurate enough if you want to analyse the traffic of a web site.

    I suggest you to request for webalizer/awstats/analytics report from the site owner.

    Thanks.

    ps: Have you checked out ranking.com?

    Compete.com and QuantCast.com are two sites you can use.
