How much traffic should I expect from hitting the Reddit front page?
Hey everyone,
An article I wrote ended up on the front page of reddit (got like 30k upvotes), peaking at spot number 13.
I'll get an analytics report tomorrow (not my website, so can't track stats in real time), but I'm impatient AF. What do you think, how many visitors has my url received? Cca?
- bitxbitxbitcoin 9y agoThat's a good question... I'd love to hear from you what you saw. Any estimate at what live simultaneous users on your site peaked at?
- justwonderingrn 9y agoThe thing is, it is not my website (I just write articles for these guys) so I'm not able to track visitors in real time. Gotta wait for the Google Analytics report. Will let you know as soon as I get it. From past experience: it's really difficult to tell. Sometimes a post gets 2k upvotes in a 500k subscriber sub and a few thousand people actually click through and read the article. Sometimes you get a lot less upvotes, but more visitors. I think redditors sometimes just read the title, upvote/downvote, write comments, without even reading an article. It's strange.
- justwonderingrn 9y agoHey man, if you're still interested Just got the report for December 7th - 26k visitors. I'm pleased, but I expected more. Keep in mind this is 26 k total and this article got shared on social media a lot and was posted in about 10 different subreddits. One submission (the one that ended up on the front page) got 30k upvotes - which essentially means that more people upvote than read the actual article. Pretty weird. Will be interesting to see tomorrow's report, assuming the article is still getting traffic from reddit, which it could be.
