Here's what I would say to journalists: Saying how many hits a website gets is like reporting how many hairs there are in LA. Some people gotta alotta hair, some ain't got any. So the number of hairs in LA don't tell you a goddamn thing about the actual population of LA.
Something like that for hits v. unique visitors: One person can go to a website, click links for an hour or so and generate tens of thousand of hits because damn near everything that loads on a Web page generates a hit.
What makes a website substantial is how many unique visitors it gets per day. Journalists: When you report on a site, you should ask the owner to send you a screen capture of his daily stats from his CPanel. There's also this obscure teeny tiny little website called
www.alexa.com that will give you some relative stats on how much traffic a website gets compared to other websites.
Why am I bothering to say this shit? I dunno. I guess I get tired of mainstream journalists distorting everything about the adult industry, while at the same time capitalizing on it every chance they get.
