    Google Analytics is the best tool for getting the traffic benchmarking. Google Analytics provides to the site owners to see their site stacks against others in various industries, by adding a so-called industry benchmarking capabilities of its free Google Web traffic measurement and analysis products.

    In Goolge Analytics tool go to to the option "Visitors" under this option you will get "benchmarking", click it and explore it. It will help you compare your site with other sites in different respects e.g you can compare your site with other sites of similar size.

    Benchmarking may seem intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. By remembering that there might not be such thing as the right numbers, keeping the proper perspective when it comes to the competition, defining success and keeping usability metrics top of mind, you're well on your way to enjoying all the benefits that benchmarking has to offer.

    And remember - your most important competition is yourself. With SEO benchmarking it's important to challenge your own numbers to improve, because ultimately your Web site environment is the one over which you have the most control. Stay focused on how your site is improving from where it was, rather than spending all of your time worrying about the bigger competitive landscape. This inward focus will pay off in higher traffic, more qualified leads and increased conversions!

    Traffic benchmarking can be done with Google Analytics. It basically allows you to set benchmarks for your keywords and marketing campaigns so that you can see if your marketing efforts are effective. I believe that Google Analytics also gives you benchmarking stats on your competitors as well, but don't quote me on this.

    [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I consider traffic benchmarking checking up with sites such as Quantcast.com, Compete.com, to see how your traffic compares against your competition. Although it's not really a 100% accurate, also Google Analytics also includes a benchmarking feature, as Spletnapot pointed out. [/FONT]

    One can set that benchmarking feature in google analytics to check how effective is its marketing strategy. Benchmarking gets you to see the information about your site, compared to your competitors. Something like that in short.
