    What's their info source?

    NPM's value is in their membership, print publications, and conferences.

    CMAA has a decidedly online-value orientation.

    The stats aren't evidence of one or the other's comparative reach and influence.
    But I do think it is HIGHLY INDICATIVE of each organization's relative hipness.

    (Maybe "Hip, not hippie" could be a new unofficial slogan...)

    Also the fact that the forum here is much more robust than any one area of the NPM website.

    Seriously, those figures are higher than reality, and probably not very meaningful. I suspect that they come from alexa.com, which counts traffic viewed by users with a toolbar installed on their browser -- which has to be an unrepresentative sample.

    Our figures from sitemeter (which probably anyone can view) aren't that high. The raw numbers from our web server logs are close to their figure, but also include traffic from web crawlers reading our site: that's not real readership.

    Also, it's not clear which sites are included, as our traffic is spread over several host names:

    musicasacra.com
    forum.musicasacra.com
    media.musicasacra.com

    and that doesn't include www.chantcafe.com, let alone www.newliturgicalmovement.org.

    For advertising purposes, I expect we will start using data from Google Analytics, although it probably undercounts as does sitemeter.

    I'm often guilty of logging in more than once a day and I suspect I'm not the only one. ;)

    Random tangent: Google Analytics is amazing.

    Yea, we are all happily stuck with each other, I must admit. I don't go anywhere else really, except for maybe a peek once in a while at CC or CCW, and very rarely, PTB. But this forum absolutely rocks... especially with the likes of Adam, Gavin and Melo, what more could you want!

    Here, and the Byzantine Forum are my biggies. The rest of the things I look at are mostly news and weather sites.

    I fear it, yet I crave it.
