What's the traffic difference between your highest visited essays and HN? I found YC and HN through your essays. I'm wondering if that's a more general phenomenon.

On an ordinary weekday, HN gets about 3x as many unique visitors as my site: 33k vs 11k. When a new essay is very popular, my traffic spikes up to 30 or 40k a day, or in rare cases over 50k.

  Thanks! As a comparison, how's this essay looking today? I only saw the link because it was on the front page, but I think that's one of their most popular blogs. Is the NY Times as powerful as claimed in PR circles?

    I don't know; Yahoo Store only updates stats once a day. If I used Mixpanel (http://mixpanel.com http://mixpanel.com) I could see stats in real time!
