In fact, Yahoo China's Buzz service has a feature for you to use URL to check the traffic. However, as you may know, Yahoo China's search service only account for less than 3% market share, I don't think it would be very useful. @John Koorn, yes, it is for checking specific search terms, usually the name of the website.

Or is there a way to see how often Google, Baidu or Yahoo directs traffic to a certain site? Don't quite understand how to use this for analyzing...! Help would be appreciated :).

It talks about the potential to use search engines to compare web sites’ popularity. The basic principle appears to be that the more times people have searched for a particular site would indicate (a) that it is more popular than others and (b) that its traffic may be comparably higher. Those who rank poorly on these tests would, of course, argue that it’s simply because those doing the searches are not regular users and that may be a fair point.
