Digg Feeds Forbes
At Forbes.com, Lots of Glitter but Maybe Not So Many Visitors - I read this story in the NYT this morning, it’s not news when a magazine or newspaper exaggerates their circulation because they all do it all the time. Now that newspapers and magazines are distributed digitally on our internet we can apply more accrete analytics.
Alexa Web Traffic Rankings are closer to the truth then the con artists ComSorce hired by Forbes to trick their advertisers. Forbes has been telling advertisers that they are attracting Business decision makers, but in reality it’s the Mom what’s for diner demographic that’s doing the clicking.
So how does Forbes find itself on Digg and Slashdot? They have a digital monkey linking and clicking all day long.
