I'm creating a website to promote early stage sites and ideas
Okay, I'll go for it. I'm very curious to see how the traffic will compare to Hacker News. Yesterday I put a link to my company (<a href="http://algorithmic.ly" rel="nofollow">http://algorithmic.ly</a>) in a comment and the response was overwhelming. I've heard that traffic from different sources can behave drastically differently in terms of conversions, and HN is notoriously bad with conversions, so I wonder how it will compare.
