Hi! I have seen many such websites that provide competitive analysis for free. My personal favourite is http://www.estimix.com . It seems to generate very accurate traffic information, too.

Users should be aware that Quantcast appears to make use of spyware applications such as Twitbin to gather their web traffic data.

[...] Quantcast is also tracking widget traffic. Widgets have confused advertisers because widgets distribute content across multiple sites, and it’s difficult to know whether visitors to a site are actually reading the widget information. For example, if VentureBeat supplied a widget of news stories to the homepage of Dogster.com, few visitors to Dogster would likely stop to read VentureBeat’s news because it isn’t relevant to their passion (dogs), even though the widget would be registering plenty of traffic by counting all visitors to Dogster.com’s home page. Quantcast’s traffic tools help by measuring user interaction with the widget (see our coverage). [...]

[...] 譬如，沒有了Page view，卻多了「widget view」(WV)。就在尼爾森消息爆出的同一天，VentureBeat也首次對「小插件的流量計算工具」作了一個史上未有、非常隆重的大整理。現在許多網路服務不再強調自己的母站，就只推出一個小小的插件，將這個小框框安置在自己在其他大網站的個人版面中，因此PV非常低，但WV非常高。所謂widget view就是該插件被外站loading的次數，就和PV是一樣的意思，只是發生在外站罷了。但，目前所有計算網頁流量工具都沒辦法輕易計算WV，無論是自己站內的widget點覽率，或者是自己的widget在外站的點覽率，都無法做到，於是有一些公司製作了在插件中置放的追蹤程式，已有Quantcast、Clearspring、WidgetBox在競爭做這件事，Musestorm則還讓你知道插件裡面的瀏覽狀況，而Yourminis更進一步的提供一些小插件常用的功能，可以輕鬆兜出一個小插件，順便幫它算WV。 [...]
