How many page views a month has GB? TechCrunch says it gets 3 million. Page views, of course :)

Rephrase: How many page views a month does GB get?

hahaha try somebody else, having other people read it always helps you pick up things that you didnt notice. |

GB? Do you mean Google Blog? I think this post on Google Blog would be helpful. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/12/year-of-google-blogging.html "Since we've had Google Analytics running on this blog since June, some of these numbers reflect only half a year. In that time, 4.3 million unique visitors have generated 8.7 million pageviews." |

In May there were 4,8 million page views on Google Blogoscoped, with page views including RSS and XML in my server's stats. In May there were 3.2 million unique visits to the blog. The way RSS hides the real post views and simply polls the RSS every hour or so makes it hard to generate anything meaningful out of that number. Just counting HTML page views to the blog however, with excluding those who read the RSS exclusively, the blog gets around 25,000 views a day, which means ~750,000 a month. That's a mixture of those reading the front-page, those reading the forum, those reading new posts following permalinks (e.g. from RSS), and those searching for something in Google and then landing here.
The first week of this blog that I can trace back, early May 2003, had 609 page views :D |

Blogoscoped – 750,000 Views a month Techcrunch – 3,000,000 //
Blogoscoped – 1,630,000 Google Search Results Techcrunch – 7,160,000 //
The ratio (Views a month)/(Google Search Results)
ratio(Blogoscoped) = 0.46 ratio(Techrunch) = 0.42
Considering that there is a 10% margin of error, I can conclude there is indeed a correlation between the two measures.
I would love to have some more stats to enlight this more. |

Then again we can start to throw things like:
For every 2.xx results on the Google index there will be 1 pageview a month.
Of course the more you write, the more you get indexed in Google, and the more you get linked to as well, right! All that = Money (beside looking at any other value than what creating content brings)
I would like to set the average earning value of a "word" and a "link" on any page it can be.

I am not a big fan of Mike. A. Not one of his reviews have ever made it into the main stream of s/w. They are all beta and yet to make any visiable impact to the world at large.
Let take another metric!!
Traffic Rank for techcrunch.com: 1,184 Speed: Slow (79% of sites are faster), Avg Load Time: 4.0 Seconds Other sites that link to this site: 353 Online Since: 11-Jun-2005
Traffic Rank for outer-court.com: 3,717 Speed: Average (58% of sites are faster), Avg Load Time: 2.4 Seconds Other sites that link to this site: 1,643 Online Since: 09-Oct-2000
Eh ?? the volumes metric's speak for themselves.
Ok not to be bad to T'crunh, I'll conceed the point and wait for another 1 yr to see traction... After all I have to be nice because its Techcrunch b'day today!! :)-

oh yeah that sucks..poor mike :)- |
Sam Davyson | 18 years ago # |
Well Mike A may be a millionaire. But what about Philipp? :P |
Philipp Lenssen | 18 years ago # |
iZeitgeist – Mike in his blog says he's getting 2-3 millio page views, but you might wanna compare the FM pages, which say Mike gets roughly nearly twice as many monthly uniques: http://www.federatedmedia.net/authors/techcrunch http://www.federatedmedia.net/authors/outercourt
The truth is, statistics are relatively meaningless unless you look at relative page views internally... I'm always curious how well this or that blog post is doing in relation to others, but I'm not curious in terms of how well this or that post is doing in relation to a Boing Boing post, a TechCrunch post, etc. – that's not really data I can work with. Yeah, I sometimes check the Technorati ranking for Google Blogoscoped, but at the same time I realize that every minute spent checking stats and rankings is time lost delivering good stuff here. As soon as you try to work on maximizing traffic, PageRank, rankings etc. you're working for the wrong goal. |

GB demographics * 87% male * 72% 18-39 * 32% HHI above $75k * 34% managers or above * 62% publish their own blog
How were these results obtained? |
Philipp Lenssen | 18 years ago # |
Through this survey from January: http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2006-01-04-n62.html
I wanted to ask FM for a full survey results one of these days, I actually only saw the stuff you point to so far... I think "62% publish their own blog" is kinda cool :) |
/pd | 18 years ago # |
but then take a look at this too – Postsecret and Cuteoverload, both these blogs have come out of now where and have gained traction as per t'rati ranking systems. I am pretty sure that those sites have as less bloggers then readers.
Having complete Techically content is not enough. I can't imagaine Techcrunch posing a sketchswap or a somethign like this which will draw "strange hordes" suddenly.. That level of traction is only being noticed in small blips in this space only.
The main differentor here is creativity vs content. Content by itself (e.g. BuzZmachine, gigaOm, T'Crunch etc) is at the head of the longtail, likewise with GB's too.
However, the DB differentatior is the creative stuff that orginates here.. *e.g. Sketchswap * which will attracts the magic middle in the long tail. We saw that also happening when there gaxed as put in play... |
