Site Popularity Meter
Site Popularity Meter
will tell you about the traffic your competitor is getting!
– by Ian Cook
If you're like most SEO's or online business owners you have reason to wonder how much relative traffic your competitors are getting compared to yours. Maybe you want to know which search engines are really the most popular or are curious about which online retail outlets are really cutting the mustard.
And, as you may already know, the Alexa Toolbar has been providing this type of information for some time now. The problem with Alexa is that it's a resource hog that tends to slow down browsing. And because it tracks all of the sites you visit, including URLs with potentially sensitive information embedded in them, it raises certain privacy concerns as well.
Combine these issues with the fact that Alexa is difficult to disable and re-enable and you've got an annoying hassle that tends to negate what are otherwise worthwhile benefits.
The advantages of Alexa without the hassles...
The solution is a tiny utility called Site Popularity Meter. This great little program downloads and installs in seconds and is ready to launch on a whim. And, since it uses Alexa's data – minus Alexa's 'issues' – you've got the best of Alexa without the annoyances.
