Ask HN: How much traffic does your tech blog get?

9 pointsby anondonover 8 years ago
For those who have a personal blog related to tech, how much traffic does it receive per month?<p>If you have any stats related to your to the traffic patterns of your blog, feel free to share.<p>How much traffic does your blog receive when it makes the front page of HN?<p>How much traffic does your blog receive when it receives substantial attention on one the tech&#x2F;programming related subreddits?<p>How many users as a percentage have adblockers enabled?<p>Would tech related blogging and including ads from google adsense make money considering tech&#x2F;programming related content is a sort of niche and also presumably a lot of users have adblockers?

Here is my experience, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;FrantzMiccoli&#x2F;status&#x2F;476242261102329856" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;FrantzMiccoli&#x2F;status&#x2F;476242261102329856</a> &quot;After 15h on HN front page: 14k views from 4k visitors on my GitHub and 3k visitors to the linked article&quot;<p>You can see similar figures when traffic comes from some important Reddit subchannels.<p>I don&#x27;t have any answers for the rest of your questions.

Im about 5000 for the year on my blog - glenware.wordpress.com<p>But my main reason for having the blog is to record my own technical notes, and if they are of use to others then great<p>Ive considered writing posts that will attract more traffic - but it always feels like I&#x27;m writing clickbait, so keep it as it is

&gt; How many users as a percentage have adblockers enabled?<p>For technical blog? I would guess practically everyone. I&#x27;d love if someone answered this.

I see about 80-100 visits a week. But I have to deduct some from that number for the referral spam for social buttons.

In the 3 years I&#x27;ve had my blog I have gotten about 52K visitors. I didn&#x27;t get any traction on sites like HN or Reddit but I did have a bunch of referrals from Stackoverflow and Microsoft forums. Unfortunately my site went down about 6 months ago and I haven&#x27;t been bothered to put it back up. That means no new content in over a year
