"Fake, but accurate" numbers on Daily Kos. The site's owner must have been taking courses at the "Dan Rather School of Honesty"...

They are all full of it. No one I know even knows who these fudge-packers are.

It appears that the trapdoor on Kos’ bunnysuit jammies is flapping in the breeze. ;)

Article sites a flaw in Sitemeter Stats: 101 people consistently revisiting the page in a circuit could inflate the numbers dramatically.
"SiteMeter only accounts for the last 100 visitors individually. On a site like Daily Kos, the 100th most recent visitor could have been 15 seconds ago. If you are the 101st most recent visitor and you click on a new page, you are counted as a new unique visitor in SiteMeters all important count. On a normal site, this wouldnt matter, since its highly unlikely youll stick around long enough to have 100 others show up after you. On a site with hundreds of thousands of page views a day, its extremely likely you will."

so clicks can be manipulated.
How to manipulate them beyond the absurd to show the fraud?

Don’t you have that chart rather inverted? The number point downward, but the numbers are increasing?
To: melt
The author is trying to divine the internal logic of a program and I'm very skeptical of his analysis. As a programmer I don't think the sort of mistake in logic he is describing is very likely. It would have to be a nonsensical design decision. It wouldn't be just a bug.
Could it be that the Daily Kos has lots of people who designate it as their homepage so that whenever they open their browser the homepage loads and gets counted? That would explain both the high visitor count and the low average visit durations.
To: melt
I am amazed that Kos has any traffic at all.
Even the slightest hint of independent (or sane) thought is met with instant banning.

What a scam. This is like pumping water into a ham to artificially expand its volume--- and make a profit. It just ain't "Kos"her...!
