Since it's somewhat an anniversary, can you tell us what kind of traffic HN is getting? users wise, pageviews wise. Or is that a trade secret?
- pg 17y agoWe now get around 40k unique ips and 500k pageviews on week days. Here's the traffic as of last night: http://ycombinator.com/images/hntraffic-16dec09.png http://ycombinator.com/images/hntraffic-16dec09.png The reason pageviews peaked in Aug is that we got better then at shutting down over-aggressive crawlers. The big spike in uniques was when the HN thread about _why became the de facto condolence page for the whole web.
- vaksel 17y agothose numbers are pretty good, although the ratio is lower than I expected. 12 page views per user, per month? I view more than that while I eat my breakfast.
- pg 17y agoThose numbers are per day, not per month.
- whyme 17y agoCongrats on the growth. I think you're going through some growth technology problems as well?. I find the responsiveness of HN has changed for the worse. I notice the main page doesn't respond sometimes and trying to check out the submissions for top leaders / heavy users yields no results. Just an observation.
