Famous for a day….

sphere trafficThis chart graphs the traffic on Sphere’s blog in April. As you can see, traffic chugs along fairly consistently at 150-300 visits per day, then spikes to more than 3,000 the day of our acquisition by AOL, which was covered by various high profile blogs and mainstream publishers. What’s funny is that the influx of traffic only lasts two days before returning to previous levels. In fact, over the past week, traffic has dipped down in the 100-150 range, which is lower than normal. Perhaps, our ruby slippers are wearing thin:) It just goes to show that fame is often fickle and short-lived….

    This is true and happens most of the time with most blogs – when they get fame (acquisition, praise in some other most read website etc) the traffic shoots up for a while and then lowers to the previous levels.

    I had not heard of Sphere before I looked at my sites traffic logs.

    Sachin was correct with the big news your site will see a spike in traffic.
