Ask HN: How much traffic does a site receive when it reaches the HN front page?

  In my brief experience, not as much as Slashdotting used to!

  "From saturday to monday: 80,935 unique visits with peaks of 600 simultaneous people on site. Out of those 81K, 24,661 came from HN. The average time spent on site was 2:11." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8107658 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8107658

    Good to know, but five year old data!

  Depending on where you are on the page and how interesting the title is, I'd put it at between 10-100K visitors.

  As a rule of thumb, the number of visits is approximately 50 + 100 * points. YMMV.
