One post and Evhead’s traffic skyrockets

Back on November 27th, Evan Williams, CEO of Odeo and the former co-founder and CEO of Blogger, wrote his “Ten Rules for Web Startups” on his blog, “Evhead.” As soon as his ten rules hit the blogsphere it was quoted on just about every business-related blog and made the top digg of the day (1277 Diggs). By making one post on Evheads blog, his traffic shot up from an Alexa ranking of 152,733 to 11,051. Take a look at the Alexa graphs below that show Evheads rank and page views, spike, considerably:

So, why was so much attention placed on this one post by Evan Williams? Is it because he’s such a notable expert that everyone’s interested in what he has to say? I think it has a lot to do with the fact that more and more people are understanding the benefits of being a entrepreneur in today’s Web space. I did a feature, last week, called “Why you should start an Internet company today” that provided some references to information on the Web that could help you start a company; or at least, inspire you to so. That post happened to be my most popular posting, to date. I really do believe that more people are empowered to start their own company today than at any other time in history.

Judging by Evan’s history, I would think that he knows a lot about the subject. If you’re one of the few that hasn’t seen Evan’s “Ten Rules for Web Startups,” then CLICK HERE to take a look. I believe, you’ll find it well worth your time.
