Right, the increase was on the webpages that included Density to show seating capacity.

I also find this particularly confusing/misleading - since you deal mainly with physical locations (often called sites by owners), using the word "site" instead of "web traffic" seems odd. Also, listing a web based metric as large as 950% without any type of time interval really kills the true significance of that metric.

My favorite statistic: 73.6% of all statistics are made up.

My 2nd favorite: 950% of 0 is 0.

Is that sustained website growth since then? Also can you make that distinction clearer on the site? It's definitely misleading some people.
