Compete.com Hits 300,000 in a Snap

Compete.com has reported this morning that they have created over 300,000 site snapshots since launch. Compete claims that they provide premium web metrics for each of the top one million web sites, featuring precise traffic snapshots for free.

Stephen DiMarco, chief marketing officer at Compete, Inc. said, "We are proud and excited that users are validating the quality of the information at Compete.com. People who don't have access to Hitwise, NetRatings or Comscore, or who are looking for an alternative to Alexa, will find a wealth of accurate data and useful features at our site. And they will get even more value as we roll-out new tools and more metrics throughout the year."

I agree with Stephen that sites like Hitwise are out of the price range for most small businesses. While it appears that Complete offers a more robust service than, say, Alexa, only time will tell if it can provide more reliable metrics and comparisons between sites.

The top 10 most accessed snapshots are:
