Ask HN: What benefits did you get from being featured on the HN front page?
Share with us what benefits did you get from being featured on the HN front page? (e.g. 10x increase in traffic, 50% increase in signups compared to the baseline, a new strategic deal...). I think it would interesting to see the statistics behind something that majority of submitters seek to experience here.
Thanks!
- minimaxir 12y agoThe benefits from getting front page of HN are insignificant 99.9% of the time. If your startup goes viral and it appears on HN, it's likely that appearing on HN is not the causal effect.
- AndriusSutas 12y agoInteresting! I know many people who view HN as a path towards viral. Any specific examples from your experience?
