I think consistent metrics are good BTW, if that means all periods use same methodology, are revised when errors in input or scripts surfaced, are recalculated (if possible) when incremental insights lead to revised definition (so that older metrics remain relevant and comparable with recent

From memory, the traffic figures include 'redlinks' - times someone has tried to load a page that's not there. If this was combined with the recent clickstream/referral data, you'd be able to identify only the ones that came from internal mainspace redlinks. What they do next is an entire
