How Quora sent us 82.10% of our visitors
- dbaupp 14y agoInteresting strategy! I guess it generalises to StackOverflow (etc) too. On a different note, all the percentages seem far too precise for their purpose: just 82% would be just fine. And unless the sample size is quite large, one shouldn't be saying that there is significant difference between 59-63% and 65% (and, the 57% bounce rate from TC is certainly not "markedly lower").
- hoag 14y agoHah! Impossible to please everyone, I suppose :) I originally wrote the story casually rounding everything to nearest integer values, but then figured that, most people reading this (probably) being developers, I should maintain exacting precision. That said, your point is well taken. :)
- abbycrowley1 14y agoIt is very impressive the extent Quora helped increase volumes of traffic to your site, minimize bounce rates, and maximize user sign-ups. This read was the perfect combination of humor and information.

- kholmes79 14y agoThanks Marc. I will give it a shot. e.g. "look for questions that are relevant to the problems we are trying to solve, and answer to the best of my abilities." I'm curious how much actual traffic this created and also if Quora is better suited for your business vs. others...
- hoag 14y agoCool Kevin, thanks!
