The resources however to make routine jobs easier are growing on a regular basis and today we are going to discuss one such resource. The resource is a service offered by a website. QuarkBase, is an online service to find complete (No service can guarantee this) information about any website. QuarkBase says complete information but I’d say a good amount of information. The data is pulled from 30 data sources including Alexa, twitter, delicious Digg and so on. Although there’s a lot of information displayed but I particularly like the information related to number of posts from a blog dugg and related information. In short the information related to the social media is something is really like. Following is the snapshot of social media information related to mashable.com.

The interface is amazingly simple. Just enter the site you wish to see the information and you’ll the information almost instantaneously, if that site was already queried earlier by someone else. For a new site that’s never been submitted to QuarkBase, it’d take close to 30 seconds to pull out and consolidate the information. This service is pretty helpful for bloggers to keep a track of how well their site is doing in terms of both traffic and social media presence.

Not to take away the importance of keeping track of your competitors and how well they are fairing. QuarkBase could be used as a competition tracking tool if used wisely with right heuristics.
