I have sites that I built in my basement that get 10x as many visitors as these, a few months after launch.

And here they are spending hundreds of thousands for some of these wimpy results =(

Any VCs want to give me money for 10x the traffic as these guys?!?

Techcrunch a king-maker?
I don’t think so!

Obviously, http://www.edocr.com is not a TC40 company. Our campaign started when we were featured on both TC.com and TC UK on 18th October. Here are some stats:

On 18/10/07 – 242 hits from TC + 53 from Crunchbase
Up to now – 418 hits from TC + 275 from Crunchbase

Many other blogs copied the TC story (mostly without adding any original content), which resulted in edocr attracting users from 147 countries with US contributing 56% of the traffic.

This month alone we had 68,103 hits. The impact of TC on our traffic figures are negligible, but the show started when edocr was featured on TC.

We expected significant traffic from TC, in thousands, but at the end it was less than 700.

Our figures are based on Google Analytics, which differ from compete.

We are still in Alpha and will continue to be in Alpha until we have the required functionality to generate revenue. Yesterday, we opened special interest groups. Let me know if you would like us to setup a group for you. Later on, you would not need our involvement to open a group.

I think Compete data should be more accurate than alexa.

“okay, docstock is cool and all, but if people start using it for blog posts i am going to get seriously pissed off.”

Why are you pissed off? Pissed off that you didn’t think of such an ingenious idea in the first place?

Kaltura is my favorite – Some of their tools are even too advanced, and I think they still have work simplifying them, though if u’ve used a video editor, you will love their stuff.
I actually use it for my Blog. they have a unique interactive widget that enables folks to add to your video blog directly from the widget.

it’s good for simple document sharing, but for displaying actual content on a website it could not be more horrible. shame on you techcrunch.

More power to DocStoc for getting their name mentioned twice on Techcrunch. Alexa says youtube gets more page views than google so I don’t put much stock it what they say.

We launched, but only into closed alpha, so I am unsurprised at the stats (of course, we track them ourselves as well, so I am doubly unsurprised).

Not a bad effort on the part of DocStoc – good way to get your name mentioned on Techcrunch again. However, in terms of adding value …

>A lot of these companies have not even launched yet!

Isn’t that a violation of TC40 conference rules? They should have launched at or immediately after the conference.

By: Ryan Spahn

Ryan Spahn — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 05:37:45 +0000

A lot of these companies have not even launched yet!

TC 40 was a great experience for this one man company! The 600% increase (per Alexa) in traffic seen while in private beta is due from being a DemoPit company, who help get the ball rolling!

Thanks

@tony or you can register a few easy to remember domains with the hope that one takes off, then create subdomains. Probably much more efficient too

Domains, Direct Navigation Rules the web.

Many of the startups had suck domain names as business models. CakeFinancial.com.

Should own hundreds of domains, long tail domains that they can provide quality content.

SeattleInvestors.com, Seattle-Investors.com and put quality content on them. HoustonInvestors.com, etc, each city and each state.

They will not get 500 visitors a day like dreamlife.com does, they don’t need that. For $9 per year they can get 100 visitors, very good price?

How much for on Google Adwords is 100 visitors going to cost?

Parked domain names SUCK

I remember the time in 2004 when we went on the Howard Stern show and clocked… 900,000 unique user sessions in 48 hours with http://www.estelle.tv. Now that’s power.

(whoops, got chopped off) that less than 10% of the TechCrunch40 say ANY increase in traffic post-conference. Just surprised with how out of step that is with expectations. Guess I’ve got to start using Compete more often.

@ #11 – Greg makes a good point….the Alexa charts show
