Hint, Hint
Since the end of the Daring Fireball promotion, traffic has gone back to being pretty flat (as in panckakes on the midwestern prairie flat). I like to check the download log regularly and recently there's been only a handful that take place during my workday. Today, the downloads were scrolling by fast and i knew that someone big must have linked to me. A quick check of the google analytics showed me that the culprit was none other than MacOSXHints! I've been a fan of MacOSXHints for years and was excited by the prospect that someone might have mentioned MercuryMover in one of the comments. Even better than a link, MercuryMover was selected as a Pick of the Week! If we had been linked from MacOSXHints and selected as a pick of the week, but not given a glowing review - that would have been enough for us. However, Rob Griffiths, the MacOSXHintman himself gave us a score of 9 out of 10(!!). Traffic is way up, downloads have been extraordinary (more than 30% of the visitors today have downloaded the free trial) and sales are up, too! Additionally, the story was also picked up by MacUser (who also gave us a very nice write up). To show my gratitude to the MacOSXHints and MacUser communities, i'm offering a special discount this week (until 5 May 2008). Enter the code "Hints" when you purchase MercuryMover and you'll get a 20% discount.
