View Public Stats for Thousands of Web Sites

The other day, while Viewing my statcounter.com stats, my finger slipped, and I clicked my Yahoo Backlinks bookmarklet, and here’s the gem I accidentally stumbled upon.

Statcounter gives you the option to have your stats public or private, and there are tons of people who chose to leave them public. This info is useful in so many ways, especially if you can find some sites that are closely related to your sites. They may even give you some ideas for new site ideas.

Here’s how to do the same in Google and also for MSN.

You can do the same sort of thing with other free stats sites.

    Or if you know some site that use Statcounter, view page source and find user id and change user id in url.
    Example: http://my9.statcounter.com/project/standard/search_engine.php?project_id=648235
    Maybe site owner choose public.

    Statscounter and other public analytics packages are the best competitive intelligence tools you can use ;-)
