Compete measures iframe includes or javascript widgets - meaning our widgets on 3rd party sites. That traffic is roughly correct in direction, but totally wrong for the volume to tipjoy.com itself. But that doesn't really matter, because it is a service - one usable almost entirely without visiting tipjoy.com.

The twitter integration, for example, is completely unmeasured by compete.

Finally, traffic is a poor metric for a payments site. Transaction volume is what matters.

Ohh, and I'm not being that open. If we were profitable, we wouldn't be shutting down.
