One of the most popular questions we have been asked about our appearance on the Dragons’ Den is how did it impact on our traffic numbers and suffice to say you don’t have to be a genius to work out that we saw a huge spike and are not seeing it slow down all that much! Here are some of the interesting statistics that will make interesting reading for all of you people out there with Blogs and websites who like us spend a large portion of your life obsessing over the stats!


The following stats cover a 24 hour period from the moment the Dragons’ Den was aired……
55,563 Unique Visitors
186,819 Page Views
3.37 Page views per visit
40.97 Bounce rate
88.26 Percentage of new visits


We saw a massive amount of hits as the show aired and there is a good chance that the figures would have been substantially higher but our website suffered a mini heart attack due to the sheer volume the machines had to deal with. We outsource our video hosting to Amazon and this is a huge help in keeping things up to speed in the last few days!


I have also been reading that Damien Mulley said ” Out of the past 500 visitors 84 came via google after searching for iFoods.tv” after he wrote a post before the show was actually broadcast. This got me to thinking about methods of driving traffic to blogs. We are ok for traffic at the moment but I was thinking…….Why not find out who is appearing on big shows in coming weeks, blog about them, Twitter it etc and be ready to reap the benefits! Am sure there are probably people at this already but no harm in giving it a whirl!
I’ll give you an update on the bigger picture traffic wise next week!


It's helping sofar
