How can you estimate such numbers in case you don't have such information available?

You can use web tools that make such estimation.

Examples:

http://www.similarweb.com/ (best one in my opinion)

https://www.compete.com/

http://www.alexa.com

http://www.similarweb.com/ is very accurate. I didn't know about this. Thanks a lot :-)

  Thanks for the props, let me know if there's anything I can help with.
  FYI, we have an API at https://developer.similarweb.com/ with much of the data available in our PRO tool, and we're the only such service with mobile & desktop data, as well as coverage of websites in over 50 countries.
  It's really nice to see us mentioned here on ycombinator, made my day.

  Wow, it certainly is impressive.
  I'm checking a domain where I can access Google Analytics stats for comparison, and it is pretty accurate.
