This isn't "non-contributory traffic" that "skew[s] the ratio," since a
major component of Web 2.0 theory/practice is the idea that content is
portable/remixable. If I post a YouTube video to my site and people watch
it, they are participating in YouTube (and likely to visit the site
themselves). 

The idea that the site is the destination is very 1.0.
