Wow. If I understand this correctly IMDB fell from 44th to 57th place in traffic rank and lost 32% pageviews the last seven days. Serious numbers that!

reply

Yes, but you have to count in the fact that IMDb had a steep rise in activities a few weeks prior to shutting down the boards. You can see that rise in Alexa graph. Now that's coming down to usual rate of activities, we still have to see what the final numbers will be. It's still too soon to tell.

Well the pageviews fell with 5% over the last 3 months (where most of this time was before the announcement to shut down the boards) and a whopping 32% in seven days now.

Unless the 3 months data is compared with something else than the 7 days it's a huge blow for the clicks IMDB get.
