Netcraft Website Traffic Analysis

Netcraft has aggregated traffic information showing the location(s) of top websites and where they are hosted. Google, Akamai and Microsoft fill the top 3 positions for places hosted, though they are fragmented because these sites are the big guns and have multiple locations. The top 3 websites are United Internet, The Planet and OVH, all internet solution providers. Via successful nameserver lookup, Netcraft takes into account parked domains, personal sites, blogs etc. The information is an indication as to traffic and what sites it influences, but for the most part it is not absolutely accurate as it receives its information via its toolbar.
