Unhappy A weird doubt on getting info from sites


The title by itself may be a bit weird and misleading.Excuse

I dont know what will be the appropriate place to place this question. Since I visit only this section of the forum I have placed this here.

My doubt:

Is it possible to get info like the number of searches made on a specific title from search engines like google?
If so how?


Any ideas, suggestions and clarifications will be extremely useful. Thanks in advance.

Yahoo posts a list of the top things being searched for:

http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzz_log/?fr=fp-buzz-title

And Google publishes an entire web services API for embedding Google functionality in your app:

http://www.google.com/apis/

I don't know if either of these things are what you happen to be looking for .. PSM

i don't do much with web programming, but it's my understanding that the person who owns the site can keep track of how many hits it has gotten, but the owner is the one who has too keep track. I can't just go to a website and find out how many other poeple have looked at it, because if that server isn't keeping track, then the information isn't there. If the server does have the information handy, the owner would have to make that available to everyone if he wanted it public.

again, just my limited understanding of how it works.
