關於 slashdot impact

在「Blog的影響力」中提到的:

以往如果能夠將新聞 (連結)登在Slashdot上,都可以為網站帶來流量,然而最近分析家發現由Slashdot帶來的流量卻越來越少。

這點在 Slashdot Effect Weakening? 提到 Business Week 提到的其中一個例子是 TomsHardware.com 以前被 slashdotted 時大約會增加 30% 的 traffic,但現在只有 5% 到 10%:

One example given is TomsHardware.com which used to see a 30% increase in traffic when slashdotted, but now only sees a 5-10% increase in traffic.

ForeverGeek 解釋這是因為 TomsHardware.com 變大了:

I’m assuming TomsHardware.com had fewer viewers two or three years ago. It’s much easier for a slashdotting to account for a 30% jump in traffic for a small site as opposed to a 30% increase for a site that has a large readership. Seems like basic math to me.

另外 Engadget 並不小,在 bloglines 上面可以看到有 10612 subscribers,這是我目前看到僅次於 Boing BoingSlashdot 的超級暴力站… 而且這也不是個人網站,背後是 Webloginc
