Use compete.com.
I just checked my sites with compete.com It is WAY off what my traffic numbers really are. Not even close. Not that Alexa is...but at least Alexa gives me some feel for where things stand and is much closer. At least that's what I'm seeing when I look at my sites in Compete. It's just not even in the ballpark.
