Why there is a big difference in statistic of Google analytical & Alexa?

Alexa is counting visits only from people who visit your site AND have Alexa toolbar installed. So that means its pretty much inaccurate when compared to Google analytics who count all your visits, no matter what toolbar you have or don't have

Better if you read first the Alexa and Google Analytics information about their services. Alexa only estimates site traffic while GA will give you a code that you should install to every page of your site and everytime someone visits any part of your site, will record it and generate report like how they find your site.

yup,

Google analytic is the most accurate tools, coz I've compared with stats counter and the difference is staggering 1 vs 5 ..........

i think it's analytics??

i think analytics is much more accurate than alexa.... because, it's one of google tools which can help you determine your traffic/visitors of your website, plus analytics can show more traffic information rather than Alexa rankings that show only a numerical representation for your traffic....

Google Analytic is far better than Alexa in terms of accuracy and deep statistics.

Google Analytics is so much better than Alexa. It's gives out more accurate traffic stats. Alexa ranking can be manipulated.

simple alexa give you country wise result and google much better then alexa google give you raffering search direct traffic result country and city wise

alexa will only show you your ranking to them and i think it's not accurate, while google analytics doesn't show your ranking but it show you a result of all the traffic or where are your visitors came from...

alexa:installed alexa toolbar
Google Analytical:add Google Analytical code on your website

They use Google Analytics and tracking traffic with Live Live Livezile. Analytical reports generally seem to be quite close to the traffic we see, using websites Livezilla.Traffic rankings are wrong, simply grab the traffic of people using the toolbar. Then say, how many people use the Internet.

Even we cannot belive the results in Analytics as there are some issues in considering the counts.
