You see a fantastic looking web site, but is there really substance to it? This question becomes especially important if you are thinking of using products or services offered on the web site. Luckily there are intelligence agencies that can help you with this.

If you want to use promotional or advertising web sites like traffic exchanges, safelists, or classifieds, you want to be sure the site is actually substantial enough to deliver what you require. There is nothing wrong with supporting small startup sites, if that is what you want to do, as long as it is an informed decision. Experience shows that your chances of getting a satisfactory service are better if you select from sites with a good turnover in traffic.

Web Site Value from Web Traffic Agents is almost as useful as Google. Just enter the domain name and extension, and it gives you a whole range of information items about the site. These include an estimated value in dollars, rankings, visitors, domain information, and traffic charts. If you enter a series of different traffic exchanges, the values range from less than $10 to far in excess of $100,00. Some web site performances are phenomenal. Instant Blog Subscribers' value is at $562,263 just more than a month after its launch.

The information from Web Traffic Agents can be very useful with intelligent use. The values will of, course, be different in the various industries and countries, so it is necessary to view enough entries per industry, to build a good frame of reference, before you can interpret the information properly. New sites will generally not have the same levels of value as old established sites, but in new sites the trends are probably more important than the specific values. The cyberspace tools site I use, 12 Second Commute, for example, is very new, but it jumped from $77,000 to $97,000 on Web Trtaffic Agents in the last few months. This gives peace of mind that it is a steadily improving site.

There will no doubt be knowledgeable people who will be able to criticise the assumptions and calculations of Web Traffic Agents. I find it, nevertheless, a very useful and practical source of information about sites whose services I want to use.  I find that regular use of Web Traffic Agents and also Alexa, helps me a lot these days before making decisions about web services to use.
