There's no evidence supporting the idea that every upvote brings additional 100 visitors to the upvoted link. Even if there's such evidence, it's not immediately clear from the article. The author doesn't consider the fact that some upvotes don't increase the point counter. There are other major flaws. The article doesn't disclose methodology used to obtain the results. It just makes the claim that an article with 500 points generates 50,000 visits, so every point is 100 visits, and expects us to believe it and take it as a fact. The author doesn't bother to prove that fact.
