Ce site est génial pour suivre la fréquentation d'un site et ses liens retour. De nombreuses autres infos pratiques sont proposées (tel que les pays d'origines des visiteurs ou bien les mots clé utilisés). Je m'en sers personnellement tous les jours même si les données ne sont pas totalement fiables, cela donne un ordre d’idée. Si le site est une réussite à tous les points de vue (rapidité, clarté), on ne peut, en revanche, pas en dire autant de la toolbar qui est plus que douteuse (spyware/adware).
