Just Something That Makes Ya Go Hmmmm.....

This from an e-mailer:

Which numbers are correct?

A few weeks ago someone mentioned KATV padded the number of times they claimed a story on their website was veiwed.

On the homepage it says this under most requested stories.

Stranger Danger Part II: Prevent Child Abduction
read 1036 times

But on the "Job Center page" it says:

Stranger Danger Part II: Prevent Child Abduction
read 263 times

So which number is correct. Is KATV "enhancing" their numbers. Is this on par with newspapers inflating circulation numbers? It would be if KATV was actually making money on the web.
