Analytics from HN vs Techcrunch
- polyfractal 15y agoWhy is this important or interesting? I know weekends are slow for HN...but really?
- fooandbarify 15y agoI don't find this sort of post riveting, either, but I'm glad someone took the time to put it together. The browser stats from a technical audience are definitely interesting, as is the fact that HN now drives half the amount of traffic as TC.
- adrianpike 15y agoThe reason I personally found it interesting & put it together was that it actually broke my assumptions about HN vs TC. All the times I've had articles on TC in the past, there have been tons of window shoppers, and very few people even dove past the landing page, let alone signed up. Compared to my own behavior on HN, I was initially expecting far more signups and usage off of HN as compared to TechCrunch. One other thing that I'm noticing is that the HN traffic's dropped hard already, but the TC traffic is still going strong (~1500 this morning alone).
- DanielRibeiro 15y agoWonder if retention differs.
- adrianpike 15y agoI'm also super curious about that - I'll try and bundle that up & share in a few weeks/months when we actually have trustable numbers.
- therealarmen 15y agoSo, who's the one still on IE?
- Garbage 15y agoMight be a poor soul who has to visit HN from corporate computer behind corporate firewall. :)
