    Hi, i am new to the whole Traffic Analysis thing.
    Right now i am using Google Analytics & Google Webmasters Tools.

    But i am not sure how we can compare our sites for traffic ?

    For instance if a person asks for a link exchange, what is the best tool to compare the two websites ?

    I used Alexa Toolbar, but couldn't make much use of it.

    Please suggest the best tools that are availabel on the internet for free.

    Thanks for your time :)

    I always combine Analytics with CountAll (countall.com) for a simple reason:
    They both give me different angle of site traffic.
    Analytics is a deeper drill down option but is not real time and get updated on delays while countall offers real time info (who is online now) and some limited (yet useful) click heat maps.

    Alexa is somewhat easy to fool for my test so I trust it partially.
