Abstract
One embodiment includes a method for estimating web traffic to a website. The method includes obtaining a subset of first set of reporting information from a secured external source and a second set of reporting information from a unsecured external source. The first set of reporting information includes a corresponding set of secured reporting information which is not provided. The method also includes generating an estimation of the amount of traffic directed to the website from the secured external source by correlating the second set of reporting information with the first set of reporting information, and obtaining an estimated revenue value of the traffic from both the secured external source and unsecured external source based on the estimation of the amount of traffic directed to the website from the secured external source and an amount traffic directed to the website from the unsecured external source.
