We get more traffic from Reddit than Digg.
The traffic is consistent and the users seem to be more mature.

Interesting info. You really did no promotion for these posts to get them on page1? They just got voted to the top on all those sites by themselves. wow.

Keep monitoring your traffic for a few weeks, you’ll probably find that Stumbleupon will continue to send visitors at a fairly steady rate, whilst the other social sites tend to completely dry up.

Interesting conclusions from your amazing article publicity. I’ve had my doubts about the quality of traffic from the top social bookmarking sites for quite a while.

I started a forum a few months back and added a lot of quality content. I then proceeded to use StumbleUpon to drive traffic to those pages. While my stats show thousands of visitors over a short period of time there have been very little sign ups to the forum itself. Even though a valuable section is out of bounds without sign up.

I’m still experimenting with sites like Digg, Reddit and Twitter. Although from your conclusions it looks like the value of the visitors are much the same.

Thanks, Andy; that makes perfect sense now that you’ve explained it. By the way, I also want to compliment you on your comments I just finished reading in some of your other articles. Do any of your comments get published on dead trees? If not, they should be.
