i found a site that i think has a good idea in terms of being helpful to it's visitors and also has lots of Google ads so i am presuming it generates a decent amount of revenue for the operator. Forgive me if I'm ignorant as a I am an ad sense novice.... what information is publicly available on the internet that can help affirm (or squash) my impressions of this site. are there any ad sense stats available? refers, page visits, Google ranking, etc. anything that would contribute to getting a more accurate idea as to how successful this site is? whether it be visitors, return visitors or profits (ballpark). i hope this is posted in the right forum. tia
Only thing that can really give you insight on the site is www.alexa.com and look at it's traffic stats....
But be forewarned that some people manipulate their rankings (it can be done quite easily with Alexa)
So why do people even give it merit? I was shocked to see that i wasn't found with alexas rank tool, yet i get 3-4k visits a day. So phooey to Alexa, Google is all I need
You could try checking with AdMoolah to see if you can find sites in similar niches with similar traffic levels to get a rough estimate.
