Abstract
One embodiment includes a method for estimating web traffic to a website. The method comprises obtaining a first set of reporting information from a secured external source that directs traffic to the website, the first set of reporting information having a corresponding portion of reporting information which is not provided from the secured external source, obtaining a second set of reporting information from a unsecured external source that directs traffic to the website, the second set of reporting information being different than the first set of reporting information, and generating an estimation of the corresponding portion of reporting information which is not provided from the secured external source by correlating the second set of reporting information with the first set of reporting information.
