It is true that it is frustrating for small sites or markets not having such data.<br /><br />Regarding your question, I can tell you that both sites are above 250,000 visits per month.<br /><br />MichaelMichael Nottéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10531017697172602891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366372281502734195.post-9584752041464103592009-11-16T16:56:15.627+01:002009-11-16T16:56:15.627+01:00Interesting !<br />For smaller websites, it would be interesting to develop the same kind of analysis with Ad Planner. I have talked to other webmasters and it seems that Google public figures are really close to the ones with get (through Google analytics).<br />Can we have an idea of the amount of trafic you were referring to in the 2 examples ?TribuGourmande.comhttp://www.tribugourmande.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366372281502734195.post-65029495669441586502009-11-13T11:47:16.543+01:002009-11-13T11:47:16.543+01:00@Peter: thanks for sharing your experience. But when you say not as &quot;accurate as my examples&quot; - do you still see similarities for main trends &amp; movements such peaks/drops?<br /><br />To answer your comment, both get more than 25% of traffic from search - one getting significantly much more than the other :-)<br /><br />Don&#39;t know what you have in your case?<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />MichaelMichael Nottéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10531017697172602891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366372281502734195.post-41253265433865347052009-11-12T15:30:42.199+01:002009-11-12T15:30:42.199+01:00Interesting! I always wanted to do this comparison. I just checked it for a big website (&gt; 100.000 visits a day).<br /><br />Google Trends for this site is not as accurate as it was for the sites you showed in your examples. <br /><br />Maybe you have lots of traffic from Google on those sites.<br />The higher the percentage of traffic from Google is, the better the estimate.Peter Pletschhttp://www.intereye.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366372281502734195.post-45588689121399235762009-10-29T21:43:21.711+01:002009-10-29T21:43:21.711+01:00Yeahh kinda spooky. It&#39;s just the data pool that Google controls. I love insights and google gives them to me.

Indeed it is quite impressive to see what Google can do.<br /><br />For example if you look at the stats from www.toyota.de. You will see in the top visited websites: toyota-europe.com. Does that means that most German visitors go to our European portal site? Not really - reason is that many German visitors on our site uses the Car Configurator that is a centrally hosted tool, hosted on toyota-europe.com domain...<br /><br />Regarding comparison with Alexa, it is a very interesting idea but difficult to do as Alexa stats are based on % of global activity (i.e. vs. all the rest of Internet) and segmentation per country is rather limited :-/<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />MichaelMichael Nottéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10531017697172602891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366372281502734195.post-71147228948682889432009-10-28T18:15:23.266+01:002009-10-28T18:15:23.266+01:00Wow Michael! Is this the post you were alluring to on Twitter yesterday? If so, I can guarantee you this post will be a huge hit! :)<br /><br />This is a very interesting study, which reinforce my love/hate relationship with Google. Great to have a free service like Google Trends, but also bye-bye to keeping such valuable competitive information to ourselves...<br /><br />Would be nice to see how Alexa ranks against Google Trends and your own data :)<br /><br />StéphaneStephane Hamel at immeria.nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10573779479865639459noreply@blogger.com
