Here's our internal data on this. Based on page view data (values below are page views) and using the statistics from Google DoubleClick Ad Planner (http://www.google.com/adplanner/static/top1000/) we have the following for the last 30 days:

    Wikipedia.org    6,000,000,000
    Twitter.com      5,900,000,000
    Amazon.com       4,900,000,000
    Aol.com          5,400,000,000
    Zynga.com          460,000,000
    Total           22,660,000,000
Then looking at our own internal network for the last 30 days we see:

    CloudFlare      27,066,719,054							
So we did about 4.4B more page views than the combined sites above which would actually leave us room to add LinkedIn and Flickr to the list.



Much of Twitter and Zynga's "traffic" won't show up as pageviews - they'll be API calls that Ad Planner wouldn't pick up.

Regardless, that is a pretty remarkable amount of data. What makes it worth carrying at zero cost?


Are you confident that you're comparing apples to apples there, and not e.g. pageviews to http requests?


Yes. We have detailed stats on page views, hits, bandwidth, cache hits, etc. etc. Looking at the most recent data which I get daily I see in the trailing 30 days: 27B page views and 162B hits.


LuzSec did not 'disappear'. They became Anti-Sec, and they are still around.
