Alexa.com, purchased by Amazon in 1999, is one of the oldest sources for the reporting of web site traffic, unique visitors and page views, transforming raw web site data into useful information.  Alexa's traffic estimates are based on data from its global traffic panel, which is a sample of millions of Internet users using one of over 25,000 different browser extensions.  In addition, Alexa gathers much of its traffic data directly from websites that have chosen to install the Alexa script in order to certify their metrics, which Franklin Networks has opted to provide to Alexa.  Alexa's data is publicly accessible and can be found at http://www.alexa.com.
