    If I'm not mistaken compete only tally north america web surfers whereas alexa track any pc that has its tracking cookies on it. It could be its toolbar or any other alexa cookies that come with some kind of installation that we unaware off because not reading the terms.

    Both are less than awesome but still can give some very approximate data. I look at both.

    Without a doubt, its Alexa. But alexa too is not always reliable. The stats are not accurate enough. But anyway its better than its rival

    I like alexa but find that the data is not that great, really depends on what you want to use it for. Alexa can be to manipulated to an extent also.
