Predictions

Background

A competitive prediction market has been set up on both Knew The News and on Inkling Markets - both asking the same question: Which of the two sites will have most unique visitors for February 2012?

Knew The News' market is available to predict on since its creation two days ago. The counter part created on Inkling is pending publication since its creation without any reason.

Knew The News market:
Which news prediction site will have more unique visitors for February 2012?

Inkling market:
http://home.inklingmarkets.com/markets/44767

Settlement source:
http://www.attentionmeter.com/?d1=knewthenews.com&d2=inklingmarkets.com

Will the market on Inkling Markets published before the settlement information is published, or suspension time is reached?

It's always a problem for a website when content is posted which leads to a direct competitor, no matter what. Many consider it spam, or inappropriate. I personally wouldn't care, but I can understand their decision - although many would call it "censorship", to completely delete all related content :-)

Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that we are slowly gaining visitors and they are losing them?

@BuckeyeTom
I tried to publish a market on Inkling asking exactly the same thing as on the Knew The News market: Which of both sites will have most unique visitors (as published by a given source) for February. Inkling didn't publish the question, and reasoned that traffic measurement is inaccurate and should not be used to settle markets. At least, that was their reply to one of my comments on the market .. now, just a few minutes later, my market disappeared from their site - they deleted it.

I must be dense because I do not understand what this question is actually looking for. I checked out the Inkling website and it looks similar to KTN. So again, what is this question actually looking for? Plus I don't understand why KTN would increase awareness of a competitor's site. From a marketing standpoint that does not make sense.
