I checked it and it is indeed valuable. However what I miss are some categories such as non-profit to compare it better. I also want to check out Piwik (http://www.phpmyvisites.us/) as I think Google Analytics is not the only tool out there. Thanks Max for that hint. I checked it and it is indeed valuable.

If you are working in a hostile ecosystem where competitors hold their numbers close then it is a wonderful tool to convince stakeholders that they are preforming better than the competition. If you are in a friendly ecosystem then you should share your own analytics with other sites to see how you perform and what you could do better. I agree that the analysis by pure numbers does not always work, so a comparative analysis should be used. I don't think you can really ever rely on just one tool, and I like the options you have come up with.
