A link transit is the clicking of a link from one web page to another. It is exactly this which is paid for in most link-back web advertising schemes. For instance, a pornography provider wants to know which of several search engines has referred people to it, so it can reward that one with additional business or direct payments.
Or, Wikipedia editors would want to know which links between articles are most heavily transitted so those connections can be elaborated. Unfortunately Bomis owns this information due to its exclusive controls over the Wikipedia web servers and 3/5 majority control of the Wikimedia Board of Trustees. This is just one good example of Wikimedia corruption.
Consumerium Governance Organization will reveal link transit data to all Research Wiki users so that the most heavily referenced and transitted links will be obvious, and can guide further work to improve the GFDL corpus of information about those topics, and better document connections or relations between the topics on the most heavily connected of the pages. It will be against the CGO's principles to let anyone control or hide this data.
