I discovered compete.com today. You'll find that for many reasons, I love sites like Alexa, Delexa, etc. Now compete.com joins the bunch.
Compete.com does a few things...one of its goals is to allow you to see how "safe, popular and valuable a site is." Great idea with so many sites out there and a large number of new ones popping up every day.
Simply type in the name of a site and you will get a "snapshot" of the site with traffic history, trust scores and more. It'll also give you the promotion codes and coupons, if any, available for a site. Nice for shoppers and the like!
You can also compare sites, like on Alexa.
Compete.com also offers a search tool and blog to help you along your way in finding great sites and getting info on them.
If you spend any amount of time on the web, you'll appreciate the value of sites like this. Whether you're a marketer, a site reviewer, a shopper, a socializer, a networker, a blogger...whatever, these sites offer handy, valuable tools.
I could write a lengthy review here, but I'm just going to tell you to check it out...yup, it's free!
For now, I'll still continue to use Alexa, Delexa and now Compete.com to check out sites, compare them and find similar ones. Each of them has some tools I find valuable.
'till later...

Delexa.org - web analytic tool
From the very day I found this site, I have used it almost every day.
It's a web analytic tool that ranks domains by topic. It combines U.S. rank with Tag Count rank, giving you some pretty accurate results. Think Alexa combined with Del.icio.us.
I have found it extremely useful as a search tool. Say I'm looking for sites that are similar to a particular site - I go to delexa, enter in the site and search. It will pull up the top ranked sites that are similar to the one that I just typed in. Regarding the site I typed in, it will give a ton of info like Statsaholic Daily Traffic Rank Trend, topic tags, and more. Then you'll see a list of the top 100 related sites and their rank and topic tags. You can also search by tag.
I LOVE IT.
I do a lot of site reviews so I have found delexa to be helpful in assisting me to find site's competitors. Now don't get me wrong, I still Google, which is helpful but I MUST "Delexa" too because it helps me return a lot of relevant results and it leaves out all of the irrelevant mess that I get with regular search engine searches.
Now it won't return perfect results every time. If it's not in the top 50K, it won't be listed there, but most sites I have looked for are there. And sometimes it will return some results that aren't necessarily similar in my opinion, but I suppose they share some of the same tags and that's why.
One feature they haven't implemented yet, but I hear they intend to, is searching for multiple tags. This will be really handy and helpful in returning more specific results.
Did I say I LOVE IT and it's free so I LOVE IT even more...lol. Check it out at delexa.org
'Till later!
