]]> <![CDATA[Matt Drudge's spin]]> I stand corrected.

But still -- a site with 42,857 non-recurring visitors each day could achieve the same visitor count. And that's not particularly impressive.

Also, Drudge's numbers seem to be an acknowledgment that each visitor swings by an average of 20 times a month. (Or, visits only once a month but leaves their browser window open for -- on average -- one hour.)

]]> <![CDATA[Matt Drudge's spin]]> The February figure of 1.2 million unique visitors breaks down to just 42,857 unique visits a day. And to get 20 million pageviews from 42,857 people, they'd all have to average 466 pageviews a day.

Even if the front page refreshes every three minutes, you'd still need to leave it open for 23 hours and 18 minutes of each day to get it to refresh 465 times.

These numbers smell.
