In before senseless reddit bashing...
The reddit admins are quite adamant that their growth was independent of digg.v4 and if you look at their numbers, they seem to be right. There are some increases associated with v4, but reddit was enjoying growth prior to that as well.
- zone411 16y agoThe graph based on their Google Analytics 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... shows that the increase in reddit's numbers to due to Digg's problems was major, whether their admins want to admit it or not.
- drivebyacct2 16y agoNot really. There was a short term spike, but their year-over-year growth was much more consistent AND greater in magnitude.
- zone411 16y agoDid you look at the graph at all? It shows that the spike right around when Digg's problems occurred was just as big as their traffic increase over the last two years with the spike excluded. You need to count the increase in estimated and direct graphs separately because of the discontinuity.
