Hitwise

Anyone know much their service costs? Accuracy of data? Any experience with them?

I demo'ed Hitwise and found the data to be accurate for trends, but they don't provide hard numbers. What they do is group websites into categories and then tell you what share each site has within that category. I found their trend data to be similar to other information I've seen about our space. I also thought that their keyword and referral data matched up fairly well with what I see internally.

Pricing is per category and I think is $3-5k for a category, but that could be way off base. I stopped paying attention to pricing once I knew it was way outside my nonexstant budget.

I would fully recommend a demo if you have not already. Its very valuable even if you don't buy.
