I am very curious to find out how much money an e-commerce company is making.

Is there a way or ways to find this out (apart from techcrunch.com/) ?

Thanks

It is going to depend on if the company is public or private. Obviously with public companies, their earnings/profits are published each quarter. There are also many other metrics which show how well a public company is doing (ie. stocks, dividends). This information is available from a number of places. Private companies are a bit different, as they really don't need to tell you much. One can usually infer how well they are doing to a certain degree, however this has no guarantee of being accurate.

Not sure if this is a stackoverflow question but if they are publicly traded they have to submit forms to the sec and provide them to you upon request so you can go that route. If not then you might just be out of luck.
