Are you availing of services like Quantcast, Compete.com and Google Trends for Websites? How about Google Analytics, Quantcast, NuConomy, Woopra and Piwik? Which ones and why? 
Given the number of tools available, primarily at no-charge, businesses have unprecedeted access to data about how much and from where their visitors come and what they look at or how long.

There must be tools that do this – I’ve used at least two and created others for clients over the years.
Where are the inventory management tools? The sales projection tools? The seasonality and trend-spotting tools, available gratis or otherwise?
