What statistics and other reports/information are available that
identify the number of new web 'business' or 'trader' sites that have
opened in the past 12 months in USA, UK and Australia?  (Supplies
coming online)

Hello

I'm not after a $1500 activity report or anything like that.  Nor am I
after a strategy to obtain private company sign ups.

Moreso, public domain information such as news reports, surveys or
anything alike to that.

I'm not sure what to make of the 'fish' comment nor what you are
wanting to be paid but what I can confirm is this ... if anyone at
Google Answers can obtain this information for me (as per the original
question, using resources such as those suggested above, I would be
very happy to pay for it).

Other than that, I do thank you very much for your creative strategy
and commentary.

Best wishes
Jennie

Jennie,
 Comments are free.  Anyone can comment, and commentators are NOT
paid. This guy is obviously a genius to come up with a formulae for
statistical analysis.  And I love the comment on fishing as well. 
Apparently he was fishing for cash by giving  some screwball answer.
