      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.

            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.
