I'm sure there are some good ones here, but the few that I checked had Alexa Ranks in the millions. Sites in that range generally have negligible traffic.

Out of curiosity, at which Alexa rank range do you take new sites serious? 100,000? 50,000?

From a little bit of research it looks like piccys.com has 30 million page views with an Alexa rank of 8518, and weheartit.com has 850 million page views with a rank of 1367. So the top 10,000 seem difficult to get into as a newcomer.

We're really excited to be featured at spot #9 (thanks Startup Plays!). Typeform| ( http://www.typeform.com ) is our take on how to evolve forms and surveys for the many devices, form factors and input interfaces available nowadays. Visually attractive, with touch input in mind, responsive designed, usable, pleasant and gracefully degradable to support old devices. We're a young, enthusiastic, startup based in Barcel…

I really like the potential here and signed up for an invite. I'm wondering though where data would live, and what kind of access we'd have to it. E.g. what kind of export options are there? Or, can form data be automatically dumped somewhere else?

100,000 is already very good.

Anything inside a million at least suggests that there are real users visiting the site.

The sites in the millions basically do not have any traffic. Newly registered sites get into that range from a few random search engine hits even before they have any real content.
