Drudge also gilds the lilly a bit on hits because he refreshes the page like every 90 seconds or so right?

The ONLY reason the DUmmie count is as high as it is, is from all the people on this site going to read the INSANE trash they post! If the count was for people who ACTUALLY gave a crap about the content, DUmmyLand would probably have under 1000 takers!

LOSERS!!

"Total # visits:FR 5,848,000"

If a lot of people are like me I only count for 1 visit since I have FR open on my computer 24/7 but spend a lot of hours here every day.

Okay, I am not embarrassed to show my ignorance...

what is considered a "unique visitor"?, as compared to just plain visitor?

[Doctor Stochastic]

That puts an entirely different perspective on things. People go back to Drudge (but his is news, not just chat.)

I'd love to see the relative Page Views per Visit and Avg. Minutes per Visit. This would be even more revealing. Drudge is generally a quick hit and run. More people "hang out" and puruse FR.
