Online Metrics - Your Directory




Seth Godin provides an excellent commentary on Quantcast - a new, free web analytics site that compiles a number of different site rankings into one, comprehensive list.

The site gives profiles to over one million websites and shows users the number of monthly unique visits and standard user demographics. The top ranked site? Yahoo.com with 128M+ U.S monthly vistors (Google comes in a close second with 118 million). Top social networks inlcude MySpace (61M+) and, of course, Facebook (25+).

Although the site is ironing out some errors, it is a nice test to use when measuring your site against some of your nearest competitors. Thus, even though the information can be anecdotal, it's interesting for you (and your clients) to understand how many users your site is getting in a month.
