It's also wildly inaccurate, about 2 months ago Joel (I think? I always forget his name...) said that Stackoverflow does ~>60,000,000 page views per month, this claims 40,000,000 for Stackoverflow. I guess nobody should expect it to be accurate anyway, but this is an example of it. It also doesn't include a site I know of that doesn't a lot more than Stackoverflow...
- nl 16y agoIf you know much about web stats (and comparing them from different providers) you'd realize that a 30% discrepancy is actually pretty accurate (sad but true!). There are lots of reasons for this, not least the definition of a "Page View". Most publishers count a page view as anytime a page is served (because they are concerned about keeping the site alive, and load on it), whereas advertisers count it as everytime a page is seen by a human. Notably, this means advertisers exclude search engine bots from their page view counts, while publishers count them. (Although obviously this depends on the publisher and the context they are talking)
