Since a lot of people say Alexa is not reliable or accurate, what do you use to compare or rank a website?

Quantcast is pretty powerful, but all these traffic sites are based on sampled stats from toolbars, etc.

  Quantcast, Alexa, and Compete.com. None of them are accurate because not many people install their toolbars.
  
  Google Trends is the more accurate tool since a lot of people install Google toolbar, Google Chrome, Google Analytics, etc.

  There is nothing like Alexa, nor is there anyone of such unwavering reliability and pedantic accuracy.

Oh I think she's pretty reliable... she has over 10,000 posts! Try and keep up to that will just make you tired!

Online ad agencies will only measure using either Comscore or Google Analytics.
