Investing in bitcoin is almost as safe as betting all your chips black on roulette


That's a great point, completely agree


Here's the monthly report that has my detailed numbers, if you're curious: http://www.sideprojectprofit.com/july-2014-profit-report/


What kind of bounce rate do your normally get from organic traffic vs the Reddit traffic?


Bounce rate is pretty similar (actually better), 55% organic, 50% from reddit.


Interesting, was expecting a higher number. Did it translate in a higher time on site as well?

On the 20k, it's actually low for Reddit, but it's so volatile and random, i've had posts generating 185k+ views for around the same amount of points in active sub reddits.


150k wow! Maybe the subreddit subscribers perform differently, or I wasn't on the front for that long. It did have over 1800 votes though


You'll see quite a bit more traffic if you get over 3,000 votes. Seeing the 3k or the 4k threshold is a quality signal for reddit's more casual browsers.


Crap, thanks for letting me know!


Why keep throwing $10/year down the drain? I know it's not much, but it's still a waste.


Because people are using your product an relying on it. They can contribute $100 for the year if you really wanted. $10 to pay and $90 for your time lol


I'd love that - are you volunteering? ;-)


Sadly, I couldn't right now but I bet there's someone out there that'd be willing to give it a go. Maybe an "Ask HN"-post?


Oh man, I love how now that I've decided to kill it I'm urged to bring it back. I proves how much I suck at marketing that the most press I get about it is about it retiring. Shoot me a PM on how to contact you and I'll let you know if I open source it.


Maybe I am missing something, but I'm not sure if I can PM or not -- hoping you see this, if so you can contact me via email at my username at gmail dot com. Would be really cool to run a copy of this in-house.


Hmmm...do people actually buy websites that have $0 revenue on flippa?


Haha, I'm trying to be funny, guess it didn't work! :)
