Question by : Can you recommend an accurate website traffic estimator?
I’m looking for a service other than www.visualizetraffic.com that provides accurate monthly traffic value(s) for a given website.
Would a paid service, such as Compete.com, be a better option as far as accuracy or is there a free service that’s reliable and on point?
Finally, if you can please give me some insight as to how these values are derived, it’d be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Google Analytics http://www.google.com/analytics is the best
Compete does NOT provide the granularity of data that you can get with GA. You can get basic numbers with Compete, but you don’t get info on:
- what are the landing pages
- sources of your traffic
- keywords where you got the most traffic
I run Compete with GA numbers, and the number from Compete is off by 25%-30%
GA now integrates with Google Webmaster Tool – and one cool feature is that you can now see how you rank for a particular query.

Question by : Can Google’s Traffic Estimator be used without an account?
I remember being able to use Google’s Traffic Estimator tool using the URL https://adwords.google.com/select/TrafficEstimatorSandbox some while ago. When I open this page now, I am asked for a login. Is it possible to use this tool without an account somewhere, or does it only work for Google customers now?

Sure.
I’ve just tried it few seconds ago, from the US and few other countries, and it works fine.
