That really isn't so far off. I believe 8.5 million impressions a day. Many sites can do that. Remember, it's an "impression" and not unique-vistors.
The average visitor to my site does 7+ pages per session. That's anywhere from 1-impression per page, to as many as 7 impressions per page because the advertising program is serving up the top and bottom banners, as well as side-bar banners.
8.5 million impressions may be 1 million page views, and that is very well within the moderately successful range.
Then again, 8.5 million impressions, if the average visitor is clicking 10 pages, each with 8 advertisements on it, would mean just over 100,000 visitors per day, which is _EXTREMELY_ do able.
So, I don't see why you feel that he would be so successful he wouldn't be hanging around here?
Who knows... maybe his site is serving up pages of button banners, and each page has 25 buttons on it, each a different campaign, in which case the "unique-visitors" per impression go pretty low, but the advertising program is _STILL_ serving up 8.5 million impressions --- and that was the point of the post.
Not how many visitors to his site.
(Or, more likely, he is running a Top-10 site, with the top 5,10, or even 25 sites getting their banners displayed on each page, in "popularity" ranking" and each banner display is an "impression" and such top-10 sites can get quite high traffic.)
Let's stick to the facts, and the information as posted.
And, yes, it would be nice to see his site, and see how fast the advertising program really was, and if it could keep up with my high speed connection. I find that almost all banner programs -- even the big services -- I can click pages fast enough that I never see the banners.... (and not just to see if I can do it, but my page loads and I'm off to the next before the graphic displays.).
