Bill, I have heard a theory that a portion of the page views on some of the Internet stocks like YHOO are generated by automatic JAVA programs running on many PC's which view a page every view seconds for the sole purpose of jacking up the page views. Probably not done by the companies themselves, but by investors trying to boost the page view count and thus the stock price. It would only take a few thousand computers to generate millions of page views and ad click throughs.

Do you think this "page view inflation" could be real?
