Ask HN: How much traffic do you get from hitting the HN front page?

Last time it happened for one of our sites it was ~1500 visits or so. I'm sure it various depending on content/interest/day/etc.<p>Though I'm not sure why you'd be so keen on the actual numbers. This isn't the sort of site where you're really looking to get pageviews-- it's more about the great feedback and comments really.

Going through my server logs counting lines which were (a) within 2 days of my submitting a link here, and (b) matched /ycombinator/i, I get the following:<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29791" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29791</a> (16 points, June 21, 2007): 260 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=70823" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=70823</a> (2 points, October 21, 2007): 39 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=106071" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=106071</a> (4 points, January 29, 2007): 99 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=142366" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=142366</a> (12 points, March 21, 2008): 191 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=182974" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=182974</a> (19 points, May 7, 2008): 257 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=209799" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=209799</a> (16 points, Jun 5, 2008): 259 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=227327" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=227327</a> (6 points, Jun 25, 2008): 121 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=231036" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=231036</a> (5 points, Jun 29, 2008): 160 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=340820" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=340820</a> (31 points, October 23, 2008): 768 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=356704" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=356704</a> (4 points, November 7, 2008): 57 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=359788" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=359788</a> (45 points, November 10, 2008): 884 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=397279" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=397279</a> (27 points, December 14, 2008): 982 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=401876" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=401876</a> (46 points, December 18, 2008): 781 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=438070" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=438070</a> (37 points, January 17, 2009): 685 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=440370" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=440370</a> (5 points, January 19, 2009): 60 hits<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=508818" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=508818</a> (87 points, March 9, 2009): 2638 hits<p>Of course, this doesn't count traffic from sites like icombinator.net which "re-skin" HN, nor does it count traffic resulting from people seeing links here and posting them elsewhere.

About 3,000 to 4,000 in 48 hours the last three times.
