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.

Initial traction for startup

Maybe that number is different for you, but in all cases, we’re talking about going from no traffic to a certain level of sustainable traffic. The sustainable part is key – a large bump in TechCrunch traffic followed by no long term users does not count (trust me, we went through that once). So traction is the process of getting from customer 0 to customer 10,000 and maintaining a sustainable growth rate.

NewsCred.com founder shares his experience about getting initial traction for startup company. Interesting.
