Techcrunch visitors halve in 12 months
- pg 16y agoCompete.com stats are often wrong. They say HN's traffic is down from last fall, and in fact it's sharply up.
- EwanToo 16y agoThat's interesting, do you know if theres a better alternative? Seems like it should really be something that should be fairly accurate, at least in terms of trends
- EwanToo 16y agoI've just looked at the HN report, some if the dips in the report are insane, from 200k down to under 50k and back up to 200k in a month.
- hotice 16y agoAlexa.com seems to work quite well...
- olalonde 16y agoA lot of professional analysts use comScore but it's a paid service unfortunately.
- ashishk 16y agohttps://www.google.com/adplanner https://www.google.com/adplanner
- petercooper 16y agoFWIW, despite using Google Analytics, that Ad Planner shows exactly half of my true traffic (showing 110K pageviews vs 220K real). So I guess they're not working out the numbers from GA then..
- pitdesi 16y agoI like Google Trends much better than compete and alexa... to borrow a term - they have more bars in more places http://trends.google.com http://trends.google.com Only good for larger sites, as it doesn't cover smaller ones Here is TC http://trends.google.com/websites?q=techcrunch.com&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 http://trends.google.com/websites?q=techcrunch.com&geo=a... Here is HN http://trends.google.com/websites?q=news.ycombinator.com&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 http://trends.google.com/websites?q=news.ycombinator.com&... PG - how accurate is it? Suggests ~20k daily uniques to ~50k now
- pg 16y agoHere are our actual numbers: http://www.ycombinator.com/images/hntraffic-2apr11.png http://www.ycombinator.com/images/hntraffic-2apr11.png Pageviews are thrown off somewhat by crawlers, but unique ips shouldn't be.
- hotice 16y agoCompete sucks big time. It shows the same for my site... when my traffic is x5 bigger then in March last year.
- teflonhook 16y agoI just put my site into compete.com and the graph looked the same, with a drop off since august 2010, while our traffic has been steadily climbing.
