FreshBooks recorded 830,000 uniques (inc cookies) generating 2.2 million visits. At the bottom of the scale, FinancialForce managed what seems a meagre 11,000 uniques but then it is very much in early stage growth. One surprise for me was WinWeb which only weighed in with a total of 48K uniques.

For example. Quickbooks Online web address is <a href="http://www.quickbooksonline.com" rel="nofollow">www.quickbooksonline.com</a> - but yet their login (where they will get a lot of unique visitors because people are signing in) qgo.intuit.com. If you compare that to say NetSuite - the login and the page visits are to the same domain. So to get a more accurate count (and realistic) you need to combine both domains for Quickbooks Online (probably the others too). I dont think this is accurate at all. For example.
