Hi, I launched BugMuncher 10 days ago, with a total cost of £55 (plus at least £5,000 worth of my time...) and I've already racked up 3k uniques. A lot of that is down to constant plugging on Hacker News and other sites, but also a very large slice is down to a great article in the next web. I'd definitely recommend trying to get some tech blogs to feature your app. A lot of my conversions have been because of that article, I can't thank the next web enough :)
I've always found getting traffic to any website is a daily battle. If I don't push BugMuncher EVERY SINGLE DAY my traffic can drop as low as 50 uniques, where as days I plug it I get around 700.
I hope this post doesn't come across as gloating, I'm shocked and amazed at how well BugMuncher has been received, I just want to show you what's worked for me :)
Best of luck with your app, it looks like it could really be useful.
EDIT: Also, is that a typo, or is your homepage meant to be imdex.html? (with an M)
- scottshea 15y ago"If I don't push BugMuncher EVERY SINGLE DAY my traffic can drop as low as 50 uniques, where as days I plug it I get around 700." I see that too. I stopped pushing my blog while I was doing a series of articles and my unique hits dropped precipitously. I would up pushing specific parts of the series just to bring them back up.
- marcamillion 15y agoThanks....I got a few of those too...but the daily battle is rough after 100 days. The homepage is supposed to be imdex with an 'M', because of a Rails issue.
