Here's how I came up with that number: We know WordPress.com blogs have 200 million monthly readers as a whole because Google Analytics tells us there were 200 million unique visitors across all 4 million WordPress month last month. Since it's measured across all blogs visitors are only counted once, even if they visit multiple blogs. So 200 million unique visitors / 4 million blogs gets you the average of 50 readers per blog. It's definitely just an estimate though. > This…is based on the assumption that WP blog readership doesn’t overlap

There are only a few cities on the planet bigger than Pressville! I'm not sure about the 350 million, though. This: "since the average WordPress.com blog has 50 readers, one could extrapolate that all WordPress blogs combined have 350 million monthly readers" is based on the assumption that WP blog readership doesn't overlap. I'm not inclined to join you in that assumption... Toni: congratulations on the 7 million. There are only a few cities on the planet bigger than Pressville!
