Another resource is World Bank. if you search for “number of internet users in Canada” for example in Google, it will give you graphs from World Bank (from public datasets)

I think I missed the point here, but this list seems to be missing some really useful sources for individual website statistics.

Quantcast.com is my absolute favorite site statistics tool. Clever use of Quantcast allows you to target advertising.

Compete.com is a nice tool for individual site stats too, but perhaps even more useful is the site comparison feature that Compete offers.

Like I said, I missed the point I’m sure, but these two sites belong on some kind of list.

Interesting though I have not used any other site than alexa and sitemeter

I’ve used Alexa stats but you put me up to a great deal of internet stats services. Thanks!

I only use alexa from all of the lists. I may try others after this.

I personally use Alexa and Hitwise. Some other tools listed above deserve a trial.

I have been writing on internet related statistics for close to 2.5 years now and in my research experience, emarketer and comscore are two very very useful websites.

Another site that you might be interested is ITFacts.biz.

Very valuable list of resources to give more depth to one’s post or article. This must be bookmarked by every blogger worth his salt.

Nice list Daniel. I am little surprised COMSCORE didn’t make your list, but there are quite a few good sources for Internet usage.

Great list of resources!

IMO, Pew has quietly provided some of the best internet usage stats. I’ve been using them for over a decade and have never been disappointed.

Awesome list Daniel!

I will be putting some code on some sites I see. Hope thay don’t drag down the load time though as I have had some problems with that in the past on some sites.

I stumbled and retweeted this post.

I’ve only used Google Analytics to find out the statistics for websites but I will have to try out some of these to see how they compare. This is definitely a very good article and I will be bookmarking it for future reference. Thanks for sharing.

Number is never my part of territory but it matters for proof and performances. I can’t avoid that as I’m all over analytics nowadays myself, whether I like it or not. lol… I can only thank you for doing the dirty work for me and everyone else. ^^ Because of that, you get a thumb-up from me.

@Glen, interesting tool, let me know if you find it.

Nice sites here.

There’s also a tool which shows you the traffic to Wikipedia which is great for keyword research (I’ll try to find the tool now, as it is on a .se domain).

For example, if Wikipedia ranks no1. for a term you’re trying to rank for, you can see how much traffic it is getting on a daily basis. From there, you can see whether it’s worth going for that keyphrase.

Cheers,
Glen
