- sixQuarks 6y agoExactly. This was the right path in this case. The value is for the consumer, if he could attract just 100K visitors per month, that's $500,000/year. Not only that, he would have a highly targeted group of users that he could tailor all kinds of products and services to.
- ivalm 6y agoYou need 1mil visitors for 500k.
- saaaaaam 6y agoIndeed. Which what 100k per month comes to, give or take :)
- yaboy 6y agoYou’re both wrong. 100k visitors per month ≠ 100k unique users per month. Very different things!
- sixQuarks 6y agoYou're being super nit-picky. It should have been assumed 100K "visitors" meant uniques, but I knew someone like you might make this comment. 100K * 12 = 1,200,000 visitors. I added a 20% margin to account for return visitors.
- yaboy 6y agoI’d like to see you tell your founder or CMO that the difference between monthly visitors and monthly unique visitors is “super nit-picky”. The 20% margin is risible and those who live by SEO die by SEO: https://cdixon.org/2011/03/05/seo-is-no-longer-a-viable-marketing-strategy-for-startups https://cdixon.org/2011/03/05/seo-is-no-longer-a-viable-mark...
- saaaaaam 6y agoWell, quite! But then I pretty much assumed it was a shorthand amongst peers so (over) explanation perhaps wasn’t really necessary...
