It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

I just got 83wpm.  I have no idea if that's good compared to other DDers but they claim it beats 91.4% of users on their website.

Also, I found myself wrongly anticipating the next word in the sequence sometimes and that caused errors... like I had "said to each" and the next word was something random, so I started typing "other" probably because I was subconsciously finishing the sentence.  But even with that I'm sure the effect on my score was minimal.

Are these sites providing it free with the permission of the owner/creator?  Or against their wishes?
