    Knowing how many registered websites in the world is good data. I get my ranking at Alexa and can see how my web site is doing with these 2 data. Alexa rates my web site also for the USA where I get 85% of my traffic from. How do I get the data of how many web sites are registered in the USA so I can get a better idea how my site is doing in that regard?
