About Dustin LutherAs Director of Engagement at Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp (@DandB), I manage our teams focused on social media and events and always looking for opportunities to engage with small business owners and influencers, both online and in-person! You can find me on Twitter (@tyr), Facebook (dluther), LinkedIn (DustinLuther) and Google+ (+Dustin Luther).
Do you have an interesting opportunity you'd like to get in front of the @DandB team? Maybe an interesting idea, product or story? Maybe an event that attracts small business experts? Let's talk!
It will be a lot of hard work but I think we’ll get there. Check out this graph: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/zillow.com+trulia.com+city-data.com/?metric=uv&months=12
City-data.com is a site similar to Localism in the way that it generates traffic from long tail search queries. Localism will have an advantage over city-data in the way it uses UGC.
I’ve been liking quantcast data even more lately and their chart is even more striking.
Nonetheless, you’re still running a site that gets substantially less traffic than any of the sites mentioned…
If my brief sampling is any guide – I hope it isn’t – a fair portion of the Localism’s traffic will be from copyright lawyers making notes on pirated articles and photos.
One of the popular neighborhoods I looked at in Chicago had “Top neighbors” in Florida nad a suburb 50 miles otuside the city, and no relevant content whatsoever.
