I looked at referral data for 2008, 2009 and 2010 to-date and for comparison also included Facebook and Digg. Natural search engine referrals ranged from about 10% to over 40% and Google.com was the #1 or #2 referring domain for nearly every site. So what percentage of total site traffic came from Twitter and the other social sites?

To see how Muck Rack stacks up against the competition I checked the volume of activity on some other Twitter press release services, but there aren’t a lot of apples-to-apples comparisons to be made.

I definitely agree with your tree falling in the forest comparison. A smaller audience but better matched can be just what’s needed in some cases. John Prieur July 21, 2010 at 2:59 pm Very interesting post, Adam. A story in the NYT is valuable because of the high readership and credibility associated with their stories.

And if possible, I’d recommend having employees closest to the product (designers, engineers, product marketing, customer service) be the stars of the show, not executives or marketers. Even better, use TubeMogul to syndicate it to dozens of other video sites. If possible, on-the-scene video showing demonstrations would be great.

The purple or pink nodes there, that’s the syndication of the story of the original tweet of that story and then the green nodes are the retweets of that story. So, great job by the engineering team. So, if you notice, some of these blue nodes have multiple red nodes coming out of them. It is so easy to use. Jay: Awesome.
