I am going for an interview, and an insider gave me a tip to analyze the company's site. Is there anyway I can determine the number of visitors, trends etc about their site?

What kind of information, would you look for and point out? This is a position I want, so don't want like a know it all, but yet so my worth right away.

Any thoughts?

run it through the appropriate validators.
i did this and when asked what single thing i would do to the site i told them they needed a document type declaration.
and I am now typing from my new desk :)

You never know, their stats may be public.

Try the following:-

www.domain.com/sitestats
/webstats
/stats

etc

If you get lucky, the first thing you want to tell them to do is to make their stats non-public.
