YC sending weird traffic?
1 point by rwebb on Aug 1, 2008 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Anyone else noticing weird traffic from YC recently? A couple of my blog posts have been posted recently - none got much real traffic but i'm now getting +75 hits from expired YC URLs daily.

example: http://news.ycombinator.com/x?fnid=bu1a8HSpa3 http://news.ycombinator.com/x?fnid=w0rxaX4D1c

am i missing something? is there some link sharing thing that could be sending these hits legitimately? otherwise i'm guessing something weird is going on. i would have searched for this to see if it had already been commented - hopefully not a rerun..




You probably just had a popular post on the second page of news (the page you get if you click on More at the bottom of the front page).




Consider applying for YC's Fall 2025 batch! Applications are open till Aug 4
