Those would be the stats for what???

Yea, I don't think there are 50 sites out there that could boast those numbers.

Smokinn got it right. Stats that doesn't appear, we stream 1.2Billions videos/month (doesn't count embedded content).

If the reddit team had had (errr... how's my use of English past tense?) the $150K deal, they might have lasted this long on just that. They probably would not have sold to Conde Nast when they did.

"Had" or "had had" are both correct, even though the latter sounds a bit silly.

Welcome to English. We're sorry.

Wow, this comment would've been downvoted to oblivion in the old days. What does this mean?

I took it as satire on the whole 'Reddit got bought by a giant megaconglomerate yet still had to beg their userbase for money to keep going, and their site is still slow as a dog' fiasco. Then again, about two days ago the Inbox stopped taking 2+ minutes to load, so...

Same. The subtext says more than the words do.

120,000,000 is what we (minecraft forum and minecraft wiki) hit for January (as per quantcast) which I think is pretty neat too, for anyone who likes pretty stats.

Can you reveal any $ numbers; e.g. CPM, conversions to paid accounts, anything?

What does that translate to in ad revenues?

This is clearly simplified, but nevertheless... [deleted] [edit] Info from comments demonstrates these results, though simplified, to be incredibly optimistic. Assuming a CPM of $1.00 and taking into account the ratio of paid advertisement to Reddit advertisement, the Monthly Revenue number would dip significantly to $100,000.

Don't forget Reddit Gold. They were at 40k/month when they started, probably up to 60k/month now.

Huge congratulations to the reddit team, old and new. Does this mean you'll be doing your next round of hiring for a new dev soon?

They've hired one guy (spladug), and I believe they're further along in the process on another. They announced a few months ago that they were hiring. [1] Raldi or Jedberg would be the best people to ask. I'm sure one of them will drop by this thread.

I am not affiliate with Manwin but found the article that was submitted here recently insightful. It partly deals with their operations:
