I visited Etsy.com's headquarters last year for a party in Brooklyn, Handmade Music night at Etsy.com and Make.com Party in Brooklyn, not far from Junior's - a resturant I have gone to frequently over the years. I also wrote a post about how to rank well in Etsy.com shortly after (What does it take to rank well on Etsy.com?); but since then, I haven't had much contact with Etsy.
Tonight, I read Etsy Raises $27 Million; Accel’s Jim Breyer Joins Board on TechCrunch and noticed ComScore's traffic chart of Unique Visitors over the last year or so:
The chart goes nicely with a similar one that I can get for free from Compete.com
Both charts show steady growth, but I'd tend to go with the Compete.com chart over ComScore as it pulls data from actual internet traffic vs. ComScore's panals.
Anyway, I'm glad they're getting more funding and hanging out at Etsy.com is fun - I should try to go over there more often - I've certainly been meaning to.
