The keyword and referral data helps me build out my clients' keyword lists and understand which affiliates and partners are sending their competitors the most traffic. Not perfect but definitely valuable if you know what to do with the reports. I use compete.com every single day, and while it is not perfect, it gives me a great angle when looking at competitors.

Personally, I think all free analytics tools or competitive analysis tools are somewhat inaccurate! Thanks for your comments - I appreciate the feedback! @Kyle, Eddy, and Tom, yes, I have heard also that the competitive reporting tools are somewhat inaccurate – however if everyone’s numbers are off I still think it can give you an idea of where you are in comparison to competitors – and the keyword numbers may be off, but if you can find new keywords from what your competitors are using – you can at least try it in your account and see how well it works for you.

As you said referring sites can be a great way to find sites to buy traffic from (via the content network or just a one to one buy) and looking at where people are going after they visit a site can provide some really interesting insight.

I have compared to many of my clients, as well as my companies info, and have found it to be way off (especially the statistics). I have actually found this service to be very inaccurate.
