Chron.com Traffic
Speaking of the Pegasus crew, they've been playing around with traffic stats for various online news providers, and think our own Chron stacks up well against analogous peers.
The question they have is -- Why?
I don't have any better answer than: it's a frequently updated site that doesn't make it a pain in the ass to read (no excessive registration, popups, etc).
Perhaps some reader can enlighten the Pegasus crew. Or perhaps the Chron's tech guru will speculate on his blog?

"it's a frequently updated site that doesn't make it a pain in the ass to read"
I'd rank the big Texas papers in terms of smallest-PITA to biggest-PITA as follows:
Chron, Express-News, DMN, Statesman, Startlegram (this mostly because it never accepted my signons after I upgraded from Mozilla to Firefox). The DMN noses ahead of the Statesman despite its longer load times because its signon works for other Belo properties and because the Statesman's account creation process is the worst of the lot. If the Chron kept article links for more than a day like the DMN and EN do, I'd have almost no complaints about accessing its contents.
