They get it from consumers. I can't imagine web analytics companies letting statistics of their publisher customers out into the open. Publishers would never want to let competitors analyze their data. But, if you ask consumers to share traffic data instead, and you have a critical mass of them sharing data, like alexa does, then feasibly you could build this. This would be a cool app built on top AttentionTrust's Extension recorder. Alexa doesn’t work with websites. They get it from consumers.
