Hallo Fern,

To figure out the traffic of your competition websites, you can use Alexa Ranking. It is the best known method used for ranking websites.

The following is how it works:

  • The Alexa tool tracks the stats for everyone as long as they have got the Alexa toolbar installed on their browser.
  • Note that could only account for less than 1% of internet users. That implies that the tool is not so accurate, but it will still give you a rough idea of the website’s popularity.
  • The following are the plugins you will need to install for whichever browser you are using:
    • Chrome - install the Alexa Extension.
    • Firefox - get the Alexa Add-On.
    • Internet Explorer - download the Alexa Toolbar.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Carl
