You have to cross reference that against quality though. In these days of content farms high traffic does not necessarily correlate against high value.

If the higher quality of writing and audience attracts a more attractive advertiser audience Salon could get much higher CPM rates without having the same volume.

HuffPo is definitely straddling the content-farm fence.
