Now I admit I do quite like the Phuket gazette website, has like 4 new stories perday, a queer news section for the gays, at least I assume it is for gays, and its easy to navigate, anyway for the last few years they have had a stat section showing their daily page views so potential advertisers can get an idea of how well they are doing, and damn, they are doing well, this is from their website here Phuket Gazette – Phuket daily news, events, jobs, classifieds, yellow pages, TV

In a departure from tradition in the local market for Web services, we are pleased to publish our key statistics on a daily basis.
These statistics are prepared independently based on visitor IP address data drawn directly from the Gazette web server. The visitor counts below are presented NET of traffic generated by search engine bugs. The statistics below cover the 24-hour period ending at midnight on Tuesday, November 2, Phuket time (GMT +7).

Number of Visitors : 40,830
Number of Page Views: : 1,048,039

See, they aint shy about publishing their figures, and with figures like that they should be proud, but wait, the page views is a 7 figure number, ie millions, hmmm, now Phuket gets say 10 million visitors per year, a lot of them can't read English, so why are people taking such an interest in this site?Lets look at this realistically, Phuket Gazette are claiming to serve more pages per day than the bangkok Post, The Nation, all the Pattaya online sites, thaivisa and teakdoor added together serve perday, well, maybe not more but pretty much the same, bangkok post and The nation serve just under 300,000 pages perday added together Thailand Web Directory at Truehits.net -

Taking a wild guess I'm gonna say the fuckwits don't know the difference between page views and hits, oh well, its a nice dream to think your serving a million pages perday.

PS, we serve more pages than the nation perday, albeit not such a great achievement sadly
