Make Your Guess About Chess.com's Visitor Statistics!

those are completely unique. we had a total of 4.5 million "visits", but many of those are repeat visits. these stats are provide by google analytics. 

Wow, I had no idea. You are doing a very serious job here erik, I mean, for chess in general. congratulations.

Is there a difference between the statistics at Alexa and the ones at Google
Analytics?

yes. google is from actual tracking. alexa is speculation based on toolbar installations and a few other things. it's like being inside the building, vs. being outside looking in through a deeply tinted window :)

Thanks for the explanation.

I was wayyy off.

Clearly you missed the part where Erik stated:

"i'm going to post the answers here and then let you guys decide who was most accurate (i'm sorry - i don't have time to check all the posts)"
