This type of Press Release really gets to me

Category
MSN Network Attracts 350 Million Worldwide Users Each Month
So why does it irritate me so? Well it's misleading that's why. What this press release doesn't tell you is how many of the unique visitors are taken to MSN property because they type in an incorrect URL, you know, you've seen it, what used to be a nice unfriendly error, now takes you to an MSN site, offering to search the web for you. Would you consider yourself a unique visitor to the Microsoft Site in that situation or just someone that was taken to somewhere they didn't expect to go? Well Microsoft consider you a unique visitor, and you can bet they're using you to help drive up their advertising revenues. See the article here: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/030728/sfm066_1.html
