Look out hitwise

Google Trends does a flip. Sure you’ve been able to use Google Trends to see what the world is searching for but not you can also see/get insights on the traffic and geographic visitation patterns of other websites.

Simply enter the address of a website into the search box and Google Trends for Websites will show you a graph reflecting the number of daily unique visitors to that website. For even more data, sign into your Google Account to see a list of regions where visitors originated from, other websites that they have also visited, and terms they have also searched for.

Of interest are searches for Google.com and Yahoo.com in which you note that NO results show for Google. You’ll also note that when I’m logged in I see the #’s in the graph for Yahoo.

Yahoo.com, not logged in and logged in

A search for Google.com ? Come on and share.

It’s just a start but interesting none-the-less. We saw what Google’s done with Google Analytics, so watch this space
