Google has now introduced "Google Trends for Web sites", using which, users can check and compare traffic data for different Web sites. With this, Google will be comparable with established majors such as Alexa, Quantcast, Compete, and comScore.
"Google Trends for Web sites" will provide daily traffic figures for up to five Web sites with bar graphs and charts for each, popularity of the Web sites in different regions, estimate of unique visitors to each site, etc. The data will be made available through the Google Analytics sharing option; to get the full data, users must log into their Google accounts.
The criticism leveled against this service could be with respect to the fact that data will be gathered essentially from Google users: Google account holders and users of Google Search and Google Tool bar. As such, it may not represent the true picture and may provide skewed information. Then again, there's no reason to suppose the service will not come up to the expected level. Or is there? |
