Hi I was comparing the visitor results in percentage from Google Analytics report and Alexa ranking report. There is a major difference. Google is showing that on my site www.hospitalityresourcenetwork.com majority of traffic is from USA and some traffic from India while Alexa shows the website has majority of traffic from India and some from USA. Both are totally opposite to each other. Which numbers I shall consider accurate?
Google Analytics is more accurate since thet give result on keywords which rank for website, while Alexa shows more rely on traffic report.
Hi Mahendra, I think Google Analytics is the Best, Alexa is Not Accurate, you can increase Alexa Ranks from Alexa toolbar and your Friends can Help you to increase alexa Ranking from ALEXA Toolbar. Thanks Eric
for me Analytics is more accurate than Alexa, Alexa are just the combined hits and traffics of a certain site unlike analytics tackles all the factors like traffics, hits, goal, and etc....
Google analytics is definitely far better than alexa as you get so many statistics for your website analysis whereas alexa only gives u the total traffic rank and percentages of traffic from different countries.
Well definitely more points goes to google analytics... well according to http://www.quantcast.com/hospitalityresourcenetwork.com your site gets 4,448 (estimated) US traffic
In my view, google analytics is more accurate than Alexa.. As GA depicts an entire MAP on Traffic where as the latter won't..
I think Google analytics is much better than Alexa. You cannot predict much about traffic on a website with Alexa. There are many people who are able to increase their alexa ranking artificially
Google analytic are accurate bcz these results are come from your code which added on your site on other hand Alexa results come from the visitor browser if visitor have Alexa tool bar than Alexa count that visit otherwise Alexa didn't count that visit which makes huge difference and you get some opposite results.
Google analytics shows exact stats and doesn't count pop up and pop unders and bots, so I would say that Google analytics is far more accurate
You can't really compare them ... - Google Analytics (if setup properly) will show you ACTUAL stats of your own website, inc traffic, keywords, etc. - Alexa tries to find out what your traffic is like, through various sources. So let me ask you a question ... Imagine one dog passes by your place and you're looking at it. Will you believe what you see (GA) or ask the neighbour (Alexa) how many dogs passed by your house? haha
