Search Status, a FireFox plugin, has just integrated Compete.com metrics.
Search Status lets you view the Google PageRank and Alexa Traffic Rank for any given site you are visiting in FireFox. Any visits you make to a site with the plugin enabled will record it in Alexa's ranking system and give a site that extra boost in the Alexa graph. Think of it as an alternative to Alexa's toolbar for IE.
Now with the latest release they have added Compete.com's ranking. I hope that with this inclusion people will stop relying so heavily on Alexa's traffic stats and start looking at more traffic analytic services. I admit that most of them are known to have skewed results and do not show a true metric of traffic. But until we have a better solution I guess we have no choice but to rely on them.
Advertisers rarely ask for personal traffic graphs and even if we provide them, they don't seem to believe it.
You can download the plugin here.

I really don’t think there is any accurate way to analyze traffic. I use three, Google Analytics, a WP Plugin and Stat Counter- all three provide different results, often 50 or more off both ways, some referring pages showing up in one and not showing in another. As far as seeing more than just traffic, Google’s is by far the best.
Thank you! I was looking for a FireFox plugin just this past weekend and tried several that I just did not like. This one is very simple and non-obtrusive. Perfect!
