Hi,

Just read your post. Great post! I'm curious howyou typically publicize a release. I typically, tweet, blog and sometimes cross post to HN nd a couple other syndication sites.

What surprises me is that I get little organic traffic to my github repo (https://github.com/mwrock/RequestReduce) and few downloads on my github pages homepage (http://requestreduce.com). i do get a fair amount of downloads on Nuget(.net package management). However, my codeplex project (nquant.codeplex.com) gets many more downloads while that project has a much narrower appeal.

So I'm wondering if you are attracting traffic via avenues I am not exploiting.

Thanks,
Matt
