The numbers behind it
Annual figures cover the 14 pages I measured and estimated organic search traffic only, so the real total is higher. Coverage is published so you can judge how representative the number is.
One visit ≈ a 10-watt LED bulb for 26 minutes. A year of estimated search visits to the pages measured ≈ driving a new car 162,600 km, or the electricity of 13 Dutch homes. What these numbers mean
