What is the least ethical for a newspaper like The TImes…pushing their stories on social news sites…or denying that you do it the first place.

Times Online's page impressions rose sharply from 76,665,465 in August to 84,234,326 in September.

Anne Spackman, the editor-in-chief of Times Online, said the growth had been driven by optimising the site's content for search engines. "It has been a strong news month, but we've got smart," she said.

"The work we've been doing on search engine optimisation for the past few months is starting to bear fruit, and allowed us to take advantage of the big news events. This is a step change – you won't just see out traffic go up and down with the news cycle."
