Misguided Survivor Traffic

from the it's-everywhere dept

We've already discussed how Techdirt is getting extremely misguided survivor traffic due to the pure stupidity of Infoseek's search engine. We've also talked about how the owners of survivor.com are worse off than I am and now here's an article about how the folks at Survivor.com feel now that the show is over. Basically, they're relieved and so am I. While it did give us a little extra traffic, it also had me sorting through all sorts of hate mail, fan mail, and questions about Survivor (why are these people emailing me?) and all sorts of story submissions about Survivor when this page has nothing to do with the show.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
