It's a bit of a dumb thing to try to measure anyway - conditions change in an instant on the intertubes. All that represents is how it was on the day they measured it...

OK - so it's like Neilsen Testing for TV ratings, using volunteers. Still not scientific - if you wanted *accurate* results you would select a sets of users from different ISPs and in different geographical regions to get a good data spread.
