Er, depends on what you mean. I don't know exactly how the "What's Related" button gets it's data, but I don't think it meshes entirely with the more generally accepted views (of course, the most popular site is a complex question with no easy answer). It lists Yahoo! as within the Top 2, which is probably a pretty good, though I couldn't figure out what was number 1. I would've guessed aol.com but it listed that as only within the top 34. According to Nielson Net Ratings, the AOL web sites are the number one most visited ones out there, followed by Yahoo! Take that for what you will, it's only one company and others will offer varying views. It is generally regarded that the portal sites are the big ones though: aol.com, microsoft.com and yahoo.com are always up there.

2996 is extremely good. Again though, I'm not so sure how accurate it is. From what SAM has said about the site's hits though, it gets quite a bit of traffic. I'm always suprised that the message forum is so small, considering the amount of people that visit various RW pages (not that I'm complaining, would hate to have a huge sprawling idiot-filled board).
