how many hits?
March 4, 2007 8:05 AM   Subscribe

Is there a website that lists the number of page views or site hits of websites per day or per month?

I have looked over alexa.com, but I am not sure that they have the information I need. I need statistics like "Ebay has 400,000 visitors each day," for example, not just a ranking of popularity. I have also looked at trafficestimate.com, but I am not sure how reliable these estimates are. If anyone has any information about sites like this, please share.

I am looking for statistics for all types of websites, but I am especially interested in college and library websites, and even sites that may be popular, but aren't necessarily the most visited sites on the web. For example, I am not super-interested in statistics for sites like MySpace or AOL, because I know that they get a gajillion hits every day. But I would be interested in finding out about something like the New York Public Library. Anyway, any help I can get would be appreciated. Thank you.

Response by poster: Thanks. I saw the previously posted question already. It actually made me sort of think about the idea that maybe there would be a list or reports of actual website hits somewhere, not just traffic estimators, which is what that thread seems to point to. I suppose that what I am looking for does not exist. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

And, as I said in my original question, alexa just isn't what I need, but thanks anyway.

What you want isn't available, because it's impossible to collect that information without cooperation from every web server owner on the internet, or active and comprehensive data collection by every backbone operator.
