Google Launches ‘Google Trends for Websites’

Now Google has introduced ‘Google Trends for Web sites’ where users can compare and check traffic data for various Web sites. With this, Google will be comparable with established majors such as Quantcast, Alexa, comScore and Compete.

“Google Trends for Web sites”will give everyday traffic figures for up to five Web sites with bar graphs and charts for each, popularity of the Web sites in different regions, estimated number 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 need to log in using their Google accounts.

However 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 show the true picture and it can give skewed information.
