I am interested what happens when you don't initially make it to the front page, but then your postmortem does, and it links you to your original project. What is the conversion % of people who then check it out?

Yeah, I think that will be an interesting followup post.

I'm even more interested in the conversion rate for the front page HN generated visitor boom, and actual long term gain. But that might be too hard to measure.

I myself always visit the sites but I cannot remember I have been using one for longer than a day.

If he's using Google Analytics it should be fairly straightforward to tie conversions back to the referral source.

Which will itself be posted to HN, continuing the cycle.
