Jonathan, I don’t understand, it seems the 14k are the overall traffic stats for that page, and not just the referrer traffic? In other words, it’s not the value of the ranking on Google on its own, but the value of all links to this page combined, and we know Wikipedia is linked from all over the place (hence the Google ranking, as we know Google ranks based on backlinks, among other attributes)...

Jonathan -- nice article!  But, be honest, were you inspired to write this based on my post yesterday at the Wikipedia Review, about traffic stats on articles I’ve created in Wikipedia?You know I’m a data junkie -- keep articles like this coming!

Thanks, thekohser.  No, I did not see your article because I was trying to figure out my travel plans for SMX Social.  Patrickaltoft, the link is http://stats.grok.se/.
