Sorting Results By Traffic Volume?

Discussion in 'Google' started by Letcha, Jan 21, 2009.

  1. #1
    I'm looking to contact some high-traffic sites in my niche about advertising. I have used SEOQuake in the past to sort results by Pagerank, but is there a way to sort by traffic volume? Alexa rank doesn't seem to be a very good indication of this, does anyone know of a plugin/method to display results in descending order based on traffic, or some indication thereof? Any help would be muich appreciated!

    I think it would be tough to do this accurately. About all you can do is use websites like alexa.com, compete.com or quantcast.com
    None of these will be very accurate, but they should give you a good idea of which websites get more traffic than others. For a more accurate guess use 2 or 3 of these types of websites in conjunction.

    Nobody can give you what you really want...

    the only TRUE & Best ranking would come from the "web browsers"

    Alexa shows mainly other webmasters and anylitics is good but NOT
    close to accurate.

    thx

    Ok, well if Alexa is the closest thing we have at our disposal...

    Is their a firefox plugin that would allow you to sort results by Alexa rank? SEOQuake has this function but I've never been able to get it to work properly.

    Ok, for those wondering, I was able to get this to work with SEOQuake, check this tool out if you haven't already, it can be very useful especially for gathering links.

    You can use Google Analytics. And this is enough. You don't need Alexa rank. Analytics provides an accurate data of your traffic volume, traffic source, and length of stay of your site visitors.

    The only way to get exact numbers is to manually pick the sites and check if they have visitor counters.
    Google doesn't care about the traffic amounts when ranking, as far as I am concerned.
    Targeted traffic is also of great importance so on your place I'd look for sites who get eventually less traffic, but the visitors are looking for your product, than to get tons of useless traffic.

    You can actually get it by make thread on TSB section, and ask the owner attach the traffic proof.

    Bohol,
    This is the biggest nonsense I've hear this year. ))) Bravo!
    The TS is looking for sites with high traffic, not trying to check the traffic within those he/she owns.
    Have you invented a way to install Analytics to a site while not having FTP-access to it?
    I'd love to hear that story!

    I don't think each single site would love to show its traffic amounts, do you?
