Overall, each site gave me an overview of Motor Trend as a site. Each site tells me something different as each site measure their information differently. Alexa measure their information globally while Complete and Quantcast only focuses on U.S. data. Also, the amount of times that they review their data is different. Like Alexa reviews their data in 3 months period while Quantcast does it monthly. Alexa did provide most of their information in greater detailed compared to the other sites allowing me to know more about their market.
