Techdirt Traffic Jump
from the hmmmmm dept
Well, I usually don’t spend too much time with Techdirt’s traffic numbers, though I do check them on occasion. It’s usually a pretty consistent increase. Two weeks ago there was an extra bump due to Inter@ctive Week’s mention. What’s odd is I just checked and there was a big bump (more than 20% over what I’d expect) last Wednesday as well. If you happened to discover Techdirt in the last week (especially Wednesday) anyone care to share where they found out about it? Just curious…

geekboys traffic?
On Jan 18th or 19th, techdirt was added to the geekboys.org collection of portals. Could some of the traffic be due to that?
how about you let us know how many we are...?
Mike, I wonder how much traffic the site gets at the moment. How big is our community?
Re: how about you let us know how many we are...?
To be honest, it’s tough to know exactly how big it is. Which metrics to use and what they mean and when… We’re working on a page that will show some of the data. But I can tell you that last week there were nearly 10,000 “visits” and over 50,000 “hits”.

Techdirt was mentioned in *today’s* The Globe and Mail, which is a Canadian paper. Here’s the link. Of course, this doesn’t explain the bump from last week…
Where I heard about TD
First heard about it actually via palm.net.
This was some time ago. After hearing about
it recently in Inter@ctive Week, it was added
to a huge bookmark list.
I heard about techdirt on palm.net as well
It’s been listed in the web clipping apps in the News category. Someone wrote a PQA for clipping the news articles.
