on our servers, tweaks in performance, etc. Marketers want uniques per
day or month, etc.
That's about it: page views per day, hits per day, and unique visitors
per month are the three main stats people care about.
Which of these stats should be developed to give
accurate information to
the world about what performance is being achieved, in an
apples-to-apples comparison to existing suites? What will give WMF the
most credibility in reporting in the future?
Page views per day, I think.
