Sometime stats are just too accurate

Ok, so maybe not. But look at this screen shot from Analytics.

Why would you ever need decimals after the number of visitors coming from different sources? Am I ever going to get 0.5 visits from a search engine?

Sites getting visits measured in the millions may use those decimals along with modifiers like "k" or "M".

But, it does seem like they could display it better . . .

Ok, that actually does make a lot of sense. Now I just need to get millions of visitors to one of my sites so I can test that Cheesy Grin

Can't you just hack Google or Drudge and look? Or, we could all spend a weekend hitting one of your sites . . . what else do you have to do this weekend!

What are you talking about? All I do is give this site multiple hits all day, I can't possibly squeeze in any more.

Actually I have a rotation of sites I visit through the day at work, my email gets the most time.

I wish that was a screen shot from this site. Here's the same stat from PAF.

On the up side, the search engine number has been pretty consistently going up.
