How much traffic can being featured on Google homepage give you ?
The whole of internet. Easy guess right ? Lets try and find out.
All of you might have noticed that last week starting November 4th, Google started featuring the Sesame Street characters on its homepage with special doodles celebrating its 40th Anniversary.
And clicking on the doodle would take you to a search page with the first page listing of Sesamestreet.org.
I was wondering how much traffic the site might have received during these days ! its a seven day long process and its only half way through, but its good to check the numbers right ? Now, I know this is not the same as “being featured on the homepage” means but this is as close to it.
Let’s see what Alexa says.
It cannot give the exact numbers but the graph explains it all. There’s a humungous spike in traffic and the real numbers would be amazing to see. If only the webmaster shared it with us.
Very Interesting read indeed
yes that would have added to a gigantic trafiic…
lets see what it adds up to..!

Hi Mani,
Wow… I guess that many traffic is really good.
Since Google has “featured searches” from time to time, is it good tactic to “piggyback” on those featured searches from time to time?
Nice post. good way of driving traffic easily to your website.
That is a lot of love Google is showing Sesame Street.
Great Post! Traffic is get from SEO, many would like to have great traffic. Thanks for sharing.
Being listed on Google homepage is really a far behind accomplishment since you’re not just making any money for it but you’ll be appreciate for each step that you are making that to happen.
Very interesting… very.
I agree with Namrata Shukla and Steve .

Wow I never knew Twitter could get a site so much traffic… I haven’t been following that much, it’s surprising.
wow…nic info ..!!…google also gave a link of droid on their homepage..!!
“Out of all the metrics, ReTweets and Lists are the most reliable measures of influence on Twitter in my opinion. Prove me wrong.”
But I think these all can acquire by effort. I think the real value is the gap between you and your followers. The more followers you get with less follow. That’s it! the influence.
What you think Mani?
very interesting !twitter get so much traffic ,its surprising.
