Zero Hedge, started by Dan Ivandjiiski (aka “Tyler Durden”), is a finance blog. I’m not a regular reader of the blog (yet?), but it seems like many in the finance industry are.
It has experienced an incredible rise in popularity since its (recent) inception on January 9, 2009. According to compete.com, it boasts 161,401 unique visitors and 740,057 total visits per month. Its compete rank is listed at 12,395, while its Alexa rank is a little lower, at 13,332.
And because public traffic metrics tend to underestimate traffic, I wouldn’t be surprised if Zero Hedge is doing far more than what Compete reports.
During this rise, there has been some interesting discussion about Zero Hedge over the last few months. Here are a few links:
