    Thanks , Would like more people to commet and know their opinion

    I am curious as I see it mostly always on WHOIS.DOMAINTOOLS.COM

    And always beside the rank they provide number of us visitors, why is that so ?
    What is the significance of US visitors. If you have more visitors from US does it means your site is good or more credible by search engines ?

    Compete.com is a very old site in determining site's rank. They do display all the keywords which are giving traffic to a website from a search engines for premium members.

    You can also complare two or three sites to see their traffic stats graph.

    Regarding US traffic, i do not think it meant like that..they are just taking US as the primary geographical area.

    Thanks I read that but didnt understand well the below paragraph how and what is done, if you or anyone can explain what it means

    The Compete Toolbar allows users to view the Compete Trust Scores and the U.S. Internet ranks of websites they visit. This is done by sending the URLs that users visit to Compete.com. Compete.com then sends back the trust scores and internet ranks from its database to the users
