Quick Stats on news.yc clickthroughs
16 points by far33d on April 10, 2007 | hide | past | favorite | 6 comments



One of my blog posts was linked here and had 9 points, putting it on the front page for about 36 hours or so. Now that it's headed down the list, I thought it would be interesting to share the statistics on how many clicks came from:

-main page (news.yc/news): 229

-newest page (news.yc/newest): 24

-google reader (via news.yc feed): 19

-the post's comment page: 5

-my user page: 3

I think wordpress doesn't accurately count up referrers, because that post has had a total of 350 or so views since the add on this site (and only 3-7 people a day looked at it before that). There were a few other referrers w/ only one count each (bloglines, newsgator, etc).

So, this site generates quite a bit of click-throughs, even for posts voted up in the single digits. Thought people might find this interesting. While traffic isn't super high, it is "focused".


Very close to my stats. My posts are also hosted on wordpress. -main page + news page: 275 -google reader: 19


Looks in keeping with the stats I'd gathered when one of my pages got linked to.


Wouldn't it be ironic if this submission got more points than your submitted blog post? It's at 7 right now...


done!


brilliant
