Note 400K monthly visits in August, but then only 85K in September.
Why the results are so unstable?
- austenallred 11y agoFirst, those stats are wrong: both are low, but Sept is very low. Second, we're a crowd sourced news company, so we're focused on the contributor side, which has been consistently growing 15% week over week. Sometimes that causes traffic spikes, and we can drive insane amounts of traffic if we try, but it will still be a couple months before readers are our priority.
- dennisgorelik 11y agoWhat are your actual numbers? Correction: similarweb shows 540K visits in August. > 15% week over week For how many weeks?
- austenallred 11y ago600k in August, 230k in sept. It was 20% for eight weeks, 15% for the next four. If you join the newsroom you'll see how incredible it's becoming.
