What are the differences between Alexa and Google Analytics? I'm just curious which one will give you better results when measuring web traffic?

Does anyone have any feedback on each one?

Google analytics is far better than Alexa. Analytics provide you most accurate and precise traffic data. Alexa only provide you a average rough estimation of your site traffic. So, Always go with Google Analytics.

google analytics is the best, not only due to the low cost (free!) but it also captures all of the traffic to your site. Just go with what is free and the best!

What some have said is true. You need Google analytics to find out specific stuff about your site. Alexa is skewed because it's based on the people that have it installed. One thing I will say it's good for is like if you're in a niche and a launch is about to happen. If you know what the standard Alexa ranking for a site that's just getting started is, you can kind of use that as a gauge to know if a product is taking off (measure the difference day-by-day).

While both Google and Alexa offer on-site analytics features, there are some distinct differences. The most important distinction is how we measure, collect and display your data and insights.

google analytics is significantly better than Alexa. Stats provide you most exact and precise visitors data. Alexa just provide you a normal rough estimation of the site traffic. Therefore , Always go with Yahoo Analytics.

Google analytics is much better than Alexa. alexa is useless but analytic is made for improving the website traffic by focusing on present traffic.

Analytic contains the information about your exact traffics, you can create Goal and many things.

as my knowledge, alexa is traffic rank checker for your site. google analytics is much better and more specific. from GA as long as you are hoster of that web, you can find all things are happening with your site: how many visits daily? where do they come from? how long they stay at your site, etc. i just want to say it is wonderful tool up to now.
