Use multiple sources and cross reference them.

histats.com.com is also a good choice

Google analytics and Awstats are definitely the best ones. They provide accurate and up to date results, the results are often easy to follow too.

CloudFlare also can be good for this, CloudFlare also tells you your amount of unique visitors, what bots/crawlers have been visiting, etc. CloudFlare is also a pretty good option.

My vote is for Google Analytics. As to Alexa, this rating site may sometimes provide inaccurate/irrelevant data.

Definitely Google Analytics, there are just no more tools that would be this complete, so my choice is more or less obvious

HI
Which is the best reliable tool to estimate traffic on a website

There are number of websites giving that information but all have different stats.
1) Google Keyword 2) myDNS Stats 3) Traffic Estimate 4) Compete 5) Quantcast 6) Alexa


Please tell me the best and the reliable tool.
Thanks in Advance

The best would be to ask the webmaster for the exact number. If that is not possible then you would have to work with inexact number.
From what I saw on my sites the estimates are ... everywhere but near the truth.

I've always used Google Analytics. I like the Android App that they have as well.

I tried some tools, but for me Google Analytics is the best. It is very easy to use and it shows a lot of information about traffic.

I would suggest Google Analytics. It's not perfect, but should do the trick for you.

Google Analytics is like the ONLY tool these days. It's also free and hosted. Can't expect more.

Baloney. Log-based solutions (e.g. awstats) are superior to script based solutions (e.g. google).

Google analytics and awstats. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages
