Is Nairaland.com Getting Too Addictive? A Data Driven Answer by liveyourlife: 12:39am On Dec 06, 2014
Due to the recent changes by Mr. Seun, I have noticed I almost never left Nl today. Maybe partly because I had a thread on the Frontpage.

But that aside, I don't think am the only one sef. Looking at pages yesterday, when this craziness began, threads on the FP were averaging 10,000 views but around this evening, it has begun averaging 22,000!!!!!!

Also, it seems engagements has increased. (beware web-speak) Nairaland.com's bounce rate has dropped by about 200%, i.e from 88% bounce rate to 66.07% at the time of this post - according to SimilarWeb.com.

for those who don't know, Bounce Rate is how quickly people exit/vacate a site.

Also, average visitor counts has gone up from 7.5million to 7.6 million (also from similarweb.com)

Time spent on site has also increased!

How do I know these? I just checked Nairaland on Wednesday & Thursday (am a freak for stats)



The dopamine effect just set in for Nairaland. Hope people won't get tired.

So Mr. Seun, it seems whatever new gods you started serving are doing their job ( Hope its Jesus).


With the extra cash coming in hope Seun does not begin to look like this>>


So what do you guys think?

I can almost predict that this state of Grace won't last long. People tend to abandon things when its becoming unnecessarily addictive. I think the Nairaland Team should visit http://Nirandfar.com for tutorials on user psychology and dopamine effects.
