Can you solve this puzzle?

I am curious to know your hypothesis that can ‘explain’ above results.

I got nice traffic from SU on several web pages I made. However, I do have some disappointments with it. I developed few sites, and am trying to figure out, by analyzing web statistics, what kind of content users like the most.

Before sharing my findings, let me say that I do understand that users will vary a lot depending on what tags you stumble a page with. Different tags will bring different people. That being said, here are few findings:

1. SU users like a lot, how shall I call it, ‘instant satisfaction’. (more…)

(for people who don’t know, ‘nofollow’ is a word inside a link telling search engine not to give any credit to that link. why would anyone use it? to discourage spam.)

Many people wrote about this topic, but I want to focus on something that others did not dedicate enough attention to.

People increasingly use social sites, and sites that are built by user contributions. There are so many great things that resulted from this (one of my favorite reference sources is Wikipedia which is built by millions of users). However, there are some serious consequences caused by the introduction of ‘nofollow’ that many people are not aware of.

1. Internet is rapidly going thru a PageRank concentration process (equivalent to real world capitalization where few people own most capital). (more…)
