Is there some place I could find where it rates people traffic per location or by mall/location or business category? I want to know what the busiest locations are. I am looking for more than the top 10 list.
Thanks

Just search under 'places'. search results are listed by traffic volumes in descending order.

You do know that "traffic" or any indication of "popularity" doesn't actually necessarily reflect whether any location is any good?
More often than not, you'll find that such 'popular' places are merely full of camping zombies, contributing nothing except lag, buying nothing, and simply artificially boosting the traffic figure to make an otherwise mediocre place look worth visiting?
As soon as you land, pull up the mini map. If you see a huge cluster of green dots on the map, it's other people. More often than not, it'll be camping chairs or dance pads with people on them instead of actual shoppers.

Brocolli is right. For a better reflection of which business's are most popular you are probably better off searching the classifieds. Each business pays for their ad with the highest paid ads appearing first, Logic dictates that if someone posts an ad for L$99999 per week the chances are they make a lot of L$ and thus their products are popular

That's Broccoli with two C's, as opposed to Philip with one L.
Or Christmas, which is noe L.

Often places with lower rated classified ads turn out to be better value, because they aren't spending money on that classified.

One thing about searching classifieds is that if you want to search for something like "Shoes" you get...
Shoes,Shirts,Dresses,Houses,Sex,Sexballs,Escorts,HDTV,TV,Radios,Textures,Windows,Doors,Belts,Earings,Hats,Rentals,Danceballs,Video,Audio,Hair,Clothes,Music,Weapons,FlowerPots,Pillows,Lamps,Chairs,Camping,MoneyTree,Cars,Boats,Planes,RV,Sun,Moon,Water,Earth,Wind,Fire,etc...

My classified listing has increased steadily over the last 18 months as my sales have increased but my prices have always remained constant. You could look at it from the point of view that the people with lower price classifieds will have higher prices in order to increase their classified ad the following week

When im shopping I tend to ignore any place with a traffic over 10,000 unless I know the place already.

(I realize the competition may be even more wasteful with their profits, but at least I won't know about it  )
