One is very accurate, the other isn't even close to accurate for visitors or uniques. The sites have been around for many years and I have tons of data on my traffic. The code is implemented correctly, so I'm at a loss. Contacted Quantcast support trying to locate the disparity and they asked for access to my Google account. Run Quantcast code on 2 of my sites.

Its flawed data makes Alexa look like the Gold Standard. Some sites are reported as having a one or two hundred visitors per month while the reality is 30 or 40 THOUSAND. Others sites are reported as have 10 or 12 thousand visitors per month when actually it is only three or 400! Quantcast is a misleading joke. Wish the guys that run it would just go away and stop dishing out screwed-up fake data. No one takes Quantcast seriously. Its flawed data makes Alexa look like the Gold Standard.

Even Alexa which is another joke site has us somewhere closer to these crazies!

Serious under reporting, some days it missed 500-800 visitors and about 25% monthly traffic and pageviews overall. Technologically very poor software and not recommended in my opinion. If you try it, be sure to test against other packages to verify your own results.

For most sites Quantacst rankings are wild guesses that are off by thousands of percent and are about as acurate as a carnival psychic. Anyone who pays more than 10 cents for the "research" generated by Quantcast is being overcharged. Quantcast is a complete farce!
