Alexa.com

Alexa.com offers a few useful tools for SEOs. Along with a standard search tool and a mirror of DMOZ, Alexa offers Traffic Rankings.
Traffic Rankings includes 4 areas of additional information:
1. Overview
Other sites that visitors of your site visited
Traffic Stats from Alexa users
Contact Information
User Reviews
2. Traffic Details
Reach Information
Rank Information
Page Views Information
graphs in 3 month, 6 month, 1 year or 2 year increments
3. Related Links
In my mind, this is the most important tool for webmasters. This gives you insight into what sites the search engines think are related to you. If the sites are not the type of sites you expected, then you may want to reconsider your linking strategies.
