What the numbers mean for a feature

These figures describe the whole site. An individual article gets a share of that traffic, not all of it, and each visitor comes back about 1.4 times a month.

A Forbes feature is shorthand for credibility. Investors, partners and customers recognise the name instantly, and the coverage keeps working for you every time someone searches you.
