Comment on The Horseshoe of Loyalty - How sticky is your traffic?

Comments

How much of this shape is an artifact of how google is presenting the data? The right most categories are chunked in ever increasing increments.

Yeah, I tried to address that in the end of the post. You'll notice links to two other site's data where the chunking is present but not nearly enough to make a horseshoe.

Without Google's chunking it would look different. but it actually makes it easier to see what's happening. Everyone will see a 1-log like function here (without chunking), what matters is the rate of decay, and that is well-captured in the chunking.
