so, is your conclusion that there is no correlation?

 

It's only March, and yet there are more threads now than years 2006 2005 2004 2003 and 2002 combined.

 

Note that traffic to ET has probably increased alot in recent years.

it actually has been going down since 2006 **edit** traffic from alexa.com in the next post
