Google Trends Offers Estimated Website Statistics

For those of us who already use Google Trends to track the popularity of search keywords, they now offer another useful tool for website owners. You can now see the history of the estimated unique daily visitors for websites. You can also compare up to 5 websites together on one graph. This means Google now competes with similar services provided by these other companies:

The Official Google Webmaster Central Blog mentions that

the data is estimated and aggregated over a variety of sources

I would assume these sources include people's search queries on Google and from sources like Google Analytics. This probably makes Google's estimates the most accurate publicly available on the internet. The reason for this is, they have such large sources of data they can create these website estimates from.

One interesting thing to note is when I checked the web statistics for "google.com", no information was provided. Other people have reported the same for other Google owned websites include blogspot.com and YouTube.
