    I want to know how which pages on my competitors websites are the most popular based on the traffic volume. I do not care how many links or directed to that page or any other metric. Only thing I am looking for is the traffic volume. It would also be nice to know the length of time spent on that page.

      Also one more thing you can look into is http://www.alexa.com/ whilst not 100% its a good starting place for finding some popularity on sites (using data from people etc.)

      Worth a look at for some indicators but most of the time you're going to be working with guess work i'm afraid.

        Hi ,

        I can see you already got great answer from Ryan & answer endorsed by moz staff Erica. If I am permitted I would like to share one post that I have found on inbound.org .

          Finding the exact numbers on this will probably be unlikely without access to their analytics, but you can get a guesstimate by seeing which of their pages are used as site links when you search for their brand in Google. You can also derive some guesses via search rankings by dividing out a percentage of clicks based on ranking from total search volumes.

          Still, you're going to be missing a lot of data by not knowing how well they're doing in terms of email marketing, social, referrers, etc.  Companies that try to accomplish this are ones like Compete and Quantcast.  A better way to go about finding popularity by topic though would be to use a tool like Google Trends, Twitter Trending, etc.

          As for time on page, why?  You'll be better off focusing all your efforts there on your own site's usability, experience and customer satisfaction.

            Semrush.com Traffic Cost - What exactly does it mean?

            Hi there mozzers..Been struggling with what seems as a simple question:
            Whilst using semrush to estimate competitors spend on Paid PPC it seems that the numbers they provide are way off from what reality is. For example, i have a client who spend approx £2,000 per month on Google PPC (so i know exactly the figure) however, the SEMRUSH indicates a monthly spend of $41 (yes USD). I7StmZG

            How can I track where visitors go after exiting my website?

            I don't want to track external links. I just want to know where they go when they leave. Is that possible? Can I do this with a cookie?

            History of Page or Domain Authority...how?

            Hi everyone, is there a way (tools) to see the "history" of any given website in terms of Page or Domain Authority? Like if I went to Alexa and typed in www.angieslist.com it tells me the site ranks #**2,691 **Globally and #670 in the USA. But, is there a way to see how the rank has gone up over time, or where it was a year, two or more ago? Thanks

            Do unindexed pages affect SEO?

            Been looking at a couple of sites recently. I've seen that they contain a couple of 'default' pages from the build process. These pages aren't of any significance to the main site and as such aren't actually linked in anywhere.
            I did a site:www.example.com search on google and as expected the pages aren't indexed. Could these page be have a negative affect on SEO in the future?
            Even though they aren't indexed or linked in anywhere. I look forward to you responses...

            Screaming Frog for competitor research

            Hi guys, Does somebody experienced an issue with Screaming Frog spider while trying to crawl a website?  It's weird since no error message appears and at the same time the crawler cannot crawl anything. There is no restriction in the robots.txt. Has someone encountered such an issue? Thank you. Cheers

            How to Find Another Site's robots.txt File?

            An SEO report, not by SEOmoz, says my top two competitors have robots.txt files that disallows spidering. I suspect that their robots.txt file doesn't disallow all spidering. How do I find out what is in their robots.txt files?

            Does TrafficEstimate.com provide accurate traffic statistics?

            When comparing traffic data for my own sites and others, I see very large discrepancies between Google Analytics, Google AdPlanner, Compete, TrafficEstimate.com - TrafficEstimate.com used to be a great way to get data on other websites' traffic, but now they don't seem to show data for international sites, and the data matches very closely to other sources for some sites and not close at all for others (200% differences). Does anybody have experience with the accuracy of TrafficEstimate.com? Does anybody have experience with the accuracy of Google AdPlanner traffic data?
