Free tools to discover traffic for a website?
-
Are there any free tools to learn traffic data (especially organic traffic data) from a site or blog?
-
If you don't mind goofing around with browser plugins, then there are a few that port info from Alexia, SEMrush, Majestic, etc. Use them at your own risk and don't forget to read user reviews. Check out: seaquake, seobook, or do a search on SEO toolbars.

compete.com - also very rough, but there not much that does this type of thing. allows you to compare sites which can be useful
-
If the site is under your control, Google Webmaster Tools would be ideal.
If the site is not under your control, Alexa is a tool to measure traffic. The higher ranked the site, the more details are captured. If a site is not ranked in the top 1 million for website traffic, there is not a great deal of detail offered.

I am looking to find the top pages based on traffic volume on my competitors websites, does anyone know of any good resources?
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.

How does my competitor website jump from a natural ranking of 10 to 1 in a matter of days?
OK this has really got me baffled, and I really hope the MOZ community can give me the answers I am seeking.... My statements and queries below are my own opinions and thoughts. I am not an experienced SEOer and I am learning all the time, so if I have written something incorrectly, please feel free to correct me 🙂 I have been told that natural rankings take time, and I have read with the recent algorithm changes from Google, that purchased links do not have an effect like they used to. I have also read somewhere that google has clamped down on bogus article writing (MOZ please clarify) But what I am seeking some clarification on is, how does my competitors website, that has had a natural rank of #1 in the past, suddenly drop off; for a lengthy period of time, then suddenly re-appear at #10 on page #1, then some three/four days later, hit #1? I have read that natural rankings are purely natural. I.e. a domain owner cannot pay google to boost their natural ranking. But is this really true? Why is it when I speak to a close colleague of mine in the same industry, he mentions that his maps listing has dropped off, and after making a couple of phone calls to his SEO guys in India, maybe a day or two later, magically his maps re-appear? I really am starting to question is a "natural ranking" really "natural?" I have heard that some of these SEO agencies do have some tools that dramatically effect the natural ranking of a domain. What are these tools?
