Charting AAR's Growth

Most of us know where to go to check out the latest 12+ numbers for stations carrying AAR, even if we regard 12+ numbers as "for entertainment purposes only." I figure with so many people interested in AAR on this board, some might like to know about other ways to track the network's growth.

I've noticed for many months now that the number of stations AAR is on and the number of weeks AAR's been on the air are always nearly equal, meaning on average, Air America is added to one new station each week. Right now, AAR's on 69 stations, and it's week 70. You can make the calculations on your own by checking the number of stations here, and calculating dates here. Will AAR's growth remain so steady? If so, you can expect station 100 around March 1.

Another interesting chart can be found here, where traffic to rushlimbaugh.com and airamericaradio.com are compared. They're nearly at parity, with AAR's traffic less volatile, but lower on average (at least until last week). These charts rank websites by traffic amount, so 5,000 is better than 10,000. The charts are based on the web usage of millions of people with an Alexa toolbar on their browser (Alexa is an Amazon.com venture).

5,000 is better than 10,000? That makes no sense. Please explain.

The key word is "rank." If a site is ranked at 5,000, it's the 5,000th most trafficked site on the internet, making that better than 10,000.
