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.

It reaches an audience of ordinary technology users at scale, arriving mostly through search with a question already in mind. For a consumer product, being the answer to that question is the most direct form of coverage there is.
