in thread Is PerlMonks relevant for one's Perl marketability?

Whilst I agree that any expectation that the membership here is anything more than a small percentage of the Perl programmers (as opposed to users for whom the percentage would probably be immeasurable :) around the world, is naive; I think your most visited stats are maybe suspect.

I guess it depends on who's numbers you believe; but also what they choose to measure.

For example, by one particular supplier, perlmonks.com is below the 10 millionth globally, but by the same supplier, perlmonks.org is in the top 20,000.

Lies & damned lies aside, it'd be interesting to see an aggregate score.

First time I ever looked at such statistics. For all the billions of websites, the vast majority must get precious little traffic.

    Alexa's stats are mostly based on a proprietary plugin so the data are crap. :| I was going by Quantcast which, in my experience as a webmaster using it and comparing it to logs, is quite reliable (/ in the ball-park). quantcast.com/perlmonks.org
