This graph is to provide an indication only. It is not 100% accurate. Other factors to consider are the exact month when the site opened their facebook page. Also sites that have launched recently such as OneDaySale.co.nz will place more emphasis on Facebook Marketing, and sites in the launch/early growth phase will have higher per month rates, due to more marketing spend during launch Still, this table does give some interesting insight :)
