This is similar to my experience when Glancely was on TC. The TC traffic was great, but the Lifehacker/Gizmodo traffic that came later were actually bigger. Beyond that, there's some credibility in saying your startup was on TechCrunch, Lifehacker, etc. It's great to be written up in TC, but the real benefits come from more than just the article itself. A TC article is a great accomplishment for a startup and has benefits beyond the article. But it's just a step, so don't celebrate for too long.
