Having worked at a newspaper (over 100,000 daily circulation) and later having been in charge of several websites (over 100,000 pageviews per day) these blog numbers are thin. Even these numbers are suspect, since it appears that Google Analytics includes the blog owner's pageviews. It filters out numerous web crawlers, which is helpful. Still, it may be an interesting measuring stick for future years, so I offer it here. I invite readers of this blog to join in the discussion by posting comments.
