We get a lot of calls to post our traffic stats, and we’re going to start doing more of that soon. But as a response to this, here are out January uniques from Google analytics, for TechCrunch.com alone.

I’m an advocate of sites publishing their own stats… in real time.
With everyone ever so concerned about everyone else’s traffic - and their own as well - the fact we need to resort to broken tools such as Alexa is a shame and it shows that there’s something else “broken”.
For instance, in http://www.corank.com/stats/ we post our “Webalizer” stats for coRank. Are we *that* important for people to actually care about our stats? Nope, at least for now. But I would definitely love it if more sites were more open about this… After all, they all love to tell the press their wonderful monthly visitors and such every now and then.
I know it won’t happen but it would be nice to see this change from a PR stunt “whenever it’s convenient” to a real-time publicly accessible data.

Love the transparency. That should shut your critics up.
Does this mean you’ll stop roasting sites on TC.com for saying their stats are one thing, and then using comScore to somehow insinuate they’re lying?
Hurts to have someone pull up 3rd party data to show you’re “wrong”, doesn’t it?
You can fool some of the world some of the time and it seems you can fool all [dumb] Americans all of the time. Your about page for advertisers states 4m unique users and that has been your sales pitch for sometime, what’s changed?
Oh well who cares what you say. In the real world you are a fat, single, fatherless, lonely 37 old person who rents a home, whose only goal in life seems to be work 18 hours a day reading the internet tea leaves to be first to scoop a story. Do you really think in a decade from now anyone will care what you wrote/said?
Get over yourself you pointless internet geek and realise there is a real world in which you do not matter. Did Om’s heart scare mean nothing to you? It was a wake up call to sado bloggers like you.
Heed the warning, or your nasty heart will soon be a dead heart if you keep up the hours and bile you spout.
Wow…tell us how you really feel…
Very impressive. Keep it up!
wow! impressive. it’s great to see how much you guys have grown since we worked with you on the logoworks story. what’s no so great is watching the sorry decline in the level of civility in the comments, but i’m glad to see it hasn’t deterred tc. thanks!
I have a great idea for a startup… it involves a short quiz before you have to post a comment so that I don’t have to read strange (insane?) comments on these types of blogs.
If I were you, Mike, I would be legitimately scared of these crazies.
