I suspect you're correct on that point. Back at Live365, our numbers per any external metric (Arbitron, Comscore, etc) were always way less than our internal logs show. Since I don't have access to private data, my hope is that all players are off by proportionate amounts. I realize this may or may not be true, tho. I also think Compete significantly understates Last.fm (since omits international users) and iLike (since omits widget-based access on FB and other social platforms). Thanks Taylor!

I think Last.FM gets more pageviews then that and as a specific example, according to compete.com The Hype Machine would have 1.4 million pageviews (using your metric of visitors x pages/visit) but we are at about 8 million (so says Google Analytics). I guess the real question is, are those numbers still accurate relative to each other or would there would be some major shifts in rank if you had access to real data.
