From what I've gathered in the past, the statistics come from those who have the Alexa toolbar installed. Not exactly a solid representation but I'd guess in this circumstance it's close to being accurate.
"Not exactly a solid representation..."
uhh... yeah. that is: agreed.
i mean, how many of your average anarcho-libertarian types like to give information away for free by using things like Alexa/Google/Yahoo toolbars?
you can just bet i've got all three installed. < /snark >
mmmph.

Relative to the overall population of internet users, [Bitcoin.org's] audience tends to be male; it also appeals more to childless, low-income users under the age of 35 who browse from home.
How on earth are they supposed to know that just from an IP address?
It looks like we got a long way to go still... But you know what they say, slow n steady...
(Bitcoin vs dollar)
According to alexa, bitcoin.org is currently ranked 3,878 on the 7 day average and 6,742 on the 1 month average.
My favorite part of the Alexa info:

It apparently would serve us well if everybody got out of their parent's basement and browsed bitcoin.org from Starbucks with your girlfriend and your rich aunt.
Haha, if I was Alexa I would make that the default for every webpage until I knew different though. Wouldn't be surprised if that's what they do.

https://www.google.com/trends?q=bitcoins <--- the Spanish is the 3rd language how they search for information in google 
Easier to work directly on the block chain.
Bitcoin Block Explorer also got a big spike in traffic starting on the 16th. 2,599 unique non-bot IPs on the 15th -> 7,832 unique non-bot IPs on the 16th. BBE is now serving ~400,000 pages per day (mostly from bots and sites like BitcoinCharts).
a lot of the Block Explorer hits are probably our friendly local neighborhood alphabet soupers, trying to connect the dots.
newbies & etc. will not have that much interest.
You think they wouldn't just get all the data and search, sort and analyze offline?
well yeah - but there are hundreds (literally) of the soupers - and dozens of sub-soupers in each, all of whom perceive that they are competing with each other.
sure they download the data. most likely on a regular schedule, every hour of every day. thousands of downloads a day...

Another view showing the extent of last week's media coverage:

The previous high was under 5,000 in March after the BitcoinJ / Google Employee announcment.

And this can also be used as another indicator of interest in bitcoin...

Their audience demographic confirms the polls on this forum:
Females are greatly under-represented at bitcoin.org
Another reason we should expect further spikes.
