Groupon Traffic Decline Nearly 50%

Has Groupon's ship sailed? Well, with its IPO pending, the group-buying leader has seen traffic decline nearly 50% since its peak in the second week of June.

That's according to new Hitwise data based on Web-based traffic, but excluding mobile and app-specific traffic.

"Regardless ... the drop-off in Groupon traffic this summer has been significant," according to Bill Tancer, GM of global research at Hitwise.

During the same time period, rival Living Social saw a 27% increase in visits to its site.

One of answers seems to make sense:

The 2 weeks duration comes from the Fortnight unit, which is some kind of old english for 2 weeks.

A single Fortnight is 1209600 seconds, or 1209600000 millisecond, which was a technical limit in some older systems.
