Typo in the math here:

Actually
144,000,000 / 52,593 = 2,738
(But that would be dividing Yahoo's daily hit rate by our weekly rate).

But I think you meant to say:
1,008,000,000 / 52,593 = 19,166

  Does that 52,593 include hits from robots?  If so, what proportion
of our hits are from robots?
  Is information about hit rates for various IP/user areas on SCN
available?
