Popularity Index

Taxonomy upgrade extras:
Hits & Kudos & things have been my guide about whether or not stories I posted were OK or rubbish or not so bad.
What I can never understand is that we might only have only 30 members on line at any one time yet number of hits in a day can reach 600 or 700 and sometimes peaked at almost 1000. There are writers with a much bigger following than me.
Then again if I'm on form I might get 60 Kudos for 1500 hits.
If I get 1500 hits over 3 days that's 500 hits per day. [24 hrs of USA time] so lets say 20 hits per hour. So lets say I get 50 kudos from the first 1000 hits and 10 from the last 500.
Have I lost you yet?
So in 2 days I get 50 kudos or 25 per day or 1 per hour.
To get 500 hits in a day needs 500 members since 1 kudos per member [am I wrong]so with an average of 30 on line at any one time that means 720 possible hits each day or I get visited by 70% of the daily turnover of hitters.
So if I try to convert this to a popularity index what is my PI No and how does this compare with the average or moreso with the best? Should I worry or just enjoy it?
I expect some people visit some of us more than once per story. How do I adjust the PI if this occurs.
Should we just sign off and read the newspaper if this starts to bug us?
