I wonder how much of that traffic is from folks who ditched Digg?

Obligatory disclaimer, not causation, FSM pirates vs global warming correlation silliness. Still, instructive to see how quickly you can destroy your own brand and boost a competitor.

  Judging by Quantcast, it's not correlated. Reddit has been steadily growing, and Digg just did a face plant.

    Reddit has stated that Quantcast and Compete's numbers are pretty much flat wrong for them. You'd have to assume the same for digg. http://blog.reddit.com/2010/07/experts-misunderestimate-our-traffic.html http://blog.reddit.com/2010/07/experts-misunderestimate-our-...

      What about adplanner data? https://www.google.com/adplanner/planning/site_profile?hl=en#siteDetails?identifier=reddit.com&geo=001&trait_type=1&lp=true https://www.google.com/adplanner/planning/site_profile?hl=en... Seems to be right, as it comes from Analytics.

        That shows a huge spike in traffic in late August and Sept, right around the launch of the digg redesign, unlike Quantcast and Compete ;-)

  I for one venture to reddit more due to what digg has become

  We saw about a 30% increase right after v4 was launched, and about most of those (25% of the 30%, or 83% of the increase) stuck around a week later. It's been basically normal growth since then.
