Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I’m interesting in finding out how many uniques a particular website gets over the course of a day or week or month.
I’m aware of Alexa, but that only gives you a “traffic rank”, and I’m not quite sure whether it’s possible to translate that into a very rough figure.
I know what ever figure I’m going to come up with will be a very rough estimation, but it would still be quite useful to have some kind of ball-park number to play around with.
Thanks alot for your help,
If it’s a US facing site then compete.com might have some data.
But only for the top 1,000,000 sites … and most sit way under that.Anyone got a clue how many hits an Alexa Traffic Rank of around 800,000 might equate to? :wink-wink

Thanks for that – I very much doubt they’ll be ranked that highly though.

Not very high at all. But more than zero.
I’d estimate something like that to be around 30-50 people per day and maybe 100 or so pages?My basis is that I’ve got a few sites in and around 300,000 to 450,000 at Alexa and they do around 150 people a day and 300 pages.
:hattip:Alexa is quite useless I think, not a true reflection at all and only marketing-types use it.
Besides, the average Joe Blogs doesn’t have the necessary toolbar installed to determine the statistics.

Yeah, that’s my opinion too but from what I gather there isn’t really anything else unless I want to start paying big bucks to sign up to Hitbox or something simlar.
MortimerJazz,
maybe the following information is helpful to you …
… one of my loan sites has an Alexa Rank of around 800,000 and it gets 90-100 uniques a day. Then again … i run a site about renewable energy sources and it gets 250+ uniques a day and is currently ranked somewhere around 1,100,000 .If I’m really interested in how many uniques a particular site gets I usually use Google Trends and/or one of the Google Adwords tools to get a basic idea on how popular a keyword is .. and then I look at the site’s SERPs for these keywords. Furthermore I always check how many pages are in the Google index and do a backlink check.

Could you just explain what SERPs are and what a backlink check is?
Thanks very much :hattip:
SERP means “Search Engine Result Page” and basically just means that you check were a site is ranked for a given keyword. Check out this tool: http://www.mcdar.net/KeywordTool/keywordtool.asp
Backlink check means that you look up what sites are linking to another site. I always use http://www.domain-pop.com but there are many other tools out there; although none of them is totally accurate; but they can give you a basic idea about a site’s link structure.
