Web site traffic, other companies

[flatsix3.6]

Is there a legal way to see the amount of traffic to another companies web site.

Not really, however, there is http://www.alexa.com/ but I'm not sure how accurate it is.

To get actual figures on as site you don't have admin access to, I can't think of anything that'd give you specific numbers.

You can look at Alexa to get an idea of the general amount of visitors relative to other sites with the proviso it's based on a limited dataset.

Google analytics also has a benchmarking feature which may be of interest but again is fairly generalised rather then about a specific company.
