More Stats on Del.icio.us, This Time Positive
"
This is an update on the post I wrote about del.icio.us earlier today that showed massively decreasing traffic on the site according to Comscore, and flat traffic from Alexa.
I spoke with del.icio.us founder Joshua Schacter this afternoon as well as Eckart Walther, VP Product for Search (Joshua’s boss) and Melissa Rische, PR Manager for Yahoo Search. They gave me some internal Yahoo numbers for del.icio.us to counter the comscore figures. I also obtained a somewhat useful Hitwise chart on del.icio.us traffic independently which is below as well.
Del.icio.us says that Comscore is “deeply flawed” in measuring del.icio.us and says “the actual stats are hugely up across the board”. Specifically, they say:
Page views, usage and new registrations have been increasing at least 10% month over month this year
Del.icio.us is at all time highs with daily registrations, daily posts and active monthly unique
