Organic traffic is not necessarily the best predictor of a mature company's revenues, but it is a more meaningful way to compare two newly launched companies.

The impression you get from the traffic graph is that Fansnap is leaving Ticketstumbler behind, while in fact it is entirely possible (indeed likely, under the circumstances) that it reflects mainly a gradual ramping up of ad spending. I.e. that what you're seeing is a graph of increasing losses rather than increasing profits.




I personally believe it's too early too tell, either 7 months ago or even now. Consumers will decide in the end who they prefer, even if it's not one of these two companies.
