The same thing happens with all major news sources, the benefit is in the incoming links that don't have nofollow on them and the various sources that then reblog and retweet about that post again sending more links back to your site. The traffic boost is fun but it is the long term link back benefit that is actually good.
I get traffic all day long from stumbleupon and that is useless traffic if you want to talk about horrible conversions.
- swombat 16y agoYou forget the rubber-stamp effect. "As seen on TechCrunch" is a good thing to put on your site, for most businesses.
- vaksel 16y agothe incoming link really isn't that powerful due to the # of stories. yes the front page is a PR8. But at the end of the day you are already on page 3...which is PR4. And page 4,5,6,7+ all have a page rank of 0. So unless your story gets picked up by CNN and hundreds of other real news sites, and they link to your article as a source....that techcrunch story will stay at Page Rank 0.
