DW annual business report, article on LJ DDoS
Tuesday, April 5th, 2011 03:36 pmhttp://dw-biz.dreamwidth.org/6029.html
Some interesting bits:
Dreamwidth tried advertising using Google Adwords, but it didn't turn out very well, possibly because of the lack of a good site tour. The site tour would need to be especially good, I think, because the people who come in via Adwords may be totally unfamiliar with LJ.
I wonder what is behind the drastic increase in monthly posts, whereas the amount of active users has stayed stable or even declined.
In other news, an article on the attacks on LJ.

Google translate link to Dronov's journal. He says they have purchased new equipment which should help them withstand future DDoS attacks.
Google translate link to Gazeta.ru article, in which it is estimated that the attack cost $15,000; it is estimated by outside sources that it cost LJ $10,000 in ad revenue. No idea on how accurate this really is.
