Mixx Hits 100 Days Of Service; Reports Stats and Figures

Social news newcomer Mixx has been in service for 100 days and has released some stats regarding their growth which I thought might be worth sharing. Personally I haven’t seen any traffic ’round these parts from Mixx but even with Digg today you won’t see diddly without hitting the frontpage. I believe that the key for success with Mixx lies 50% in the quality of the stories/community and 50% in the traffic it drives outward to the content creator’s Web site or blog.

• We’re now averaging hundreds of thousands of unique visitors each month
• There are tens of thousands of registered Mixxers – 78% of whom have personalized their Mixx pages with more than 10 category tags
• Mixxers have created more than 700 groups, and counting
• So far, more than 5 million votes have been cast
• We now have a library of more than 50,000 tags submitted by Mixxers

Then they mention that a variety of large blogs and news sites have installed Mixx buttons. One of the sites they note is the LA Times. Of course they should be using Mixx considering that they have invested in the company last month!

Maybe we should take another stab at story submission and if so, we will report back with more traffic stats from the content creator’s perspective.
