Congrats swombat!
One of my apps was just featured on Lifehacker as well. The post hit at 11:30am and total uniques for the day were 3,500 the first day and 1,800 the second. I thought they would be a bit higher than that. It would be interesting to compare numbers...
- sreitshamer 17y agoInteresting. I got almost that many from Arq being on the HN front page the other day! But maybe that's because many HN readers are in the target market (online backup to S3 for the Mac).
- swombat 17y agoI think it depends on the article... my "How to Nap" article which was republished there got 76k hits so far... this one clearly won't get as many, but we've already had about 20 beta sign-ups since the article went up.
- rrhyne 17y agoThose are amazing numbers. What kind of post was it? Was it featured with a large image, or the small thumbnail? Mine was a small thumbnail and was pushed quite a few down the list quickly. Of my 3,500 visits the first day I converted over 20% though, so I can't complain!
- bemmu 17y agoThat's an amazing ratio, what do you count as conversion?
- rrhyne 17y agoUser signups. Unfortunately signups are free. LOL. But I'm working on the paid conversions.
- swombat 17y agoClearing the confusion - the "How to nap" article got 76'000 hits on LifeHacker - not 76'000 click-throughs. It was featured in the rotation at the top of the site (and I think that ended up on Gizmodo too). There weren't all that many click-throughs, but that wasn't the point for that one.
- rapind 17y agoLooks pretty cool. Gratz man.
- rlivsey 17y agoWe got similar uniques on MinuteBase when that was featured - 4,000 visits on the first day and 2,000 for the next 2 days until it dropped off the front page.
