Thanks, that was an interesting read. I'm not sure what to think of these kinds of experiments. Most of the time I feel like modern science is hindered by too much political correctness, but then you read something like this ... makes me reconsider.

Jacques, I'm curious as to where you put your effort in terms of marketing (contacting people to get backlinks, SEO optimization, etc) and in the end, what were the main sources of that steady growth in the second graph? Or did you just ignore marketing and work on your product?

Tons of backlinks mostly, from lots of very small websites.

Search engines did the rest.

Making people happy was quite a bit of work on that one but I think it was worth it.
