This is a very good point, but AOL sure isn't the only provider out there
and probably is one of the very few that do assign different IP numbers
every request to a page..
I just looked at my server logs, over the last 7 days I've had 12,000
hits. Any AOL address was found in maybe 100 of them.. So for me, using
that stat is a pretty good representation of the actual traffic to my site..

In one word. Yes.
No statistic, especially any web page statistic is 100% accurate.. It's
something everyone has to keep in mind and realize.
