So our traffic has finally gone through a growth spurt, headed primarily by a big jump in pages per visitor after installing Facebook commenting (see graph above.)

What gives? I know there’s a focus on uniques with these services (and our uniques are fairly steady) but both views are page view views.

And in case your wondering why I love Mark Zuckerberg at the moment….
