I think my week one conclusion is that popular topics seem to bring higher traffic, but lower "quality". I'm planning on testing authority, site design, personability, and community integration over the next couple of weeks. You’re right.

It seems like more popular topics get you more traffic, but more watered down in terms of quality. If you were serving ads, it could go one way or another. Some people only care about eyes, others care about actual quality (reflected in part by bounce rate, time spent on site, and return visitors). Interesting.

Interestingly, the posts I am getting comments on are the newer popular topics. The posts that are more inline with what I've been doing have received 0 comments. My bounce rate went up about 5% and my time on site went down 13 seconds. Matt, on posts where I’m getting comments, they are the standard amount.

How has your comment count been since starting? Up or down? From what I see at a glance most stories posted have 0 comments. 2. What is the bounce rate and time spent on site look like?
