In the City University study that Paul Kedrosky quotes, the Drudge traffic figure is based on only one month of traffic: June 2005. It is impressive but it would be interesting to find out what the percentage is over the course of a year and whether it still holds true in August 2007.

re: forced page reloads:

I wrote about this issue a few days ago, when the Washington Post’s website finally drove me around the bend. I hate this behavior because, with the exception for rapidly-changing pages mentioned above, forced page reloads are a completely artificial way of increasing page view statistics. The practice doesn’t actually improve readers’ experience (in fact, it makes their experience much worse) and the higher page views don’t actually reflect any additional viewership.

Anyway, the Post does it in a particularly annoying way, which I wrote about here.
