ReadWriteWeb calls URLFAN ‘perhaps the best influence index on the Web’. I call it a fantastic tool for customer and competitive intelligence.

Want to know how popular a website is based on blog mentions?

Type the URL of the website into URLFAN’s search box and up will come a rank, a trend, and some other fascinating information about that site. For example, you’ll see which other blogs are just above it in terms of rank, and also see excerpts from various blog mentions.

Definitely add this one to your customer and competitive intelligence toolset: http://www.urlfan.com/
