Any way to find out how much traffic a web site gets?

[techs]

Sorry, I didn't know where to post this.
I am trying to see the traffic on a new website for a company I may want to invest in.
Is there anyplace I can find this out?
Thanks.

an indication of traffic is to do a search for other websites linking to
your target website.

for example, for the Surf website Surfline -
https://siteexplorer.search.ya...fp-t-501&fr2=seo-rd-se
... Yahoo counts 100K+ inlinks

http://www.google.com/search?h...com&btnG=Google+Search
... Google counts 10K+ inlinks

just doing a search using the terms "link:www.surfline.com"

Alexa's traffic-stats info could also be interesting, e.g. http://www.alexa.com/data/deta...c_details/mechbgon.com ...obviously don't invest in that one!
