Hmm, well my math doesn't quite tally with Magnus'. A quick look at a
few different recent months tells me we're hitting around 3 - 3.5M
page views per month on www.postgresql.org, with archives getting just
under 1M.

We're not tracking anything other than pages though, so I'm not sure
how impressions would actually differ from page views. Or am I missing
something?
