Site Popularity Meter is possible because of a useful service called Alexa®

Alexa is a free web navigation tool that also powers the ‘Show Related Links’ information in Internet Explorer and the ‘What’s Related’ button in Netscape. They also rank every website according to number of times Alexa users have visited the site in the past six months.

Alexa user base is very large and is a very good representation of relative web traffic. Of course it takes into account only Windows users.

Site Popularity Meter retrieves this information from Alexa and provides it in a clean tabular display. Simply type in the URL, click ‘Go’ and the free software will retrieve the ranking and the number of Alexa visits. All information is displayed in a nice table. You can right click within the list for various options. You may click on the list headings to sort the list (rank wise, site wise, etc.)

Site Popularity Meter simply connects to the Alexa website and retrieves a web page from it. It is safe to use and doesn’t monitor any activity on your own system. You need not install Alexa in your system to use this software. However installing Alexa will allow you to instantly see the popularity of every site you visit.
