considering ib clients are the “entrenched media” who have everything to lose when the net succeeds (and fashioned their internet strategies accordingly) those numbers aren’t bad at all.

i think they clearly state that the number is an aggregate of all their sites.

i would expect the whopping majority of those visitors are from a select few markets. i think they almost said as much in their release; “wnbc.com (new york), thebostonchannel.com, thedenverchannel.com, clickondetroit.com”.

i’ll agree that approach is somewhat misleading, but given the environment i’ll say those are “pretty strong numbers”.

cnn summed it up best when their broadcast originated from a coffee house…like online politics had yet to earn its way into an actually studio. would you see traditional anchors wearing leather pants?

I’ve often wondered how this company (and others) gets away with using nearly 80 web sites to compare itself to its single-site competition, such as the NY Times, or MSNBC. (Check the Overview page on the IB corporate web site for specifics.)

Really, 24.8 million page views and 3.5 million visitors don’t seem like much to brag about when considering what the company has to do to generate those numbers: Maintain and staff almost 80 web sites. In fact, the question that always comes to mind when I see IB patting itself on the back is, “Eighty web sites and that’s the best you can do?”
