How can you find out how much an online business makes?

An example is http://www.etsy.com It is a professional looking site that allows people to sell their products for a small fee. How would a person go about finding out how much this site makes a month?

      When looking at niches to possibly get into it would be nice to see the traffic stats and what they are bringing in money wise.

    Unless they are releasing earnings statements publicly, then you have no chance of finding out... unless you forge an IRS badge, but even then you would probably get a watered down version
