I don't see much traction here:

http://siteanalytics.compete.com/attachments.me/

It looks like aqui-hire is the best option for attachments.me



Our main products are a Chrome Extension, and an iPhone application. The website itself gets a, granted small, but growing amount of traffic -- but it's mainly just there to direct people towards the clients.

I don't think that Alexa or Compete do a perfect job of reflecting our usage numbers, since the website itself is not the main way people interact with us.


1) Compete shows downtrend for attachments.me I understand it could be a mistake due to low numbers, but still does not look promising.

2) What are attachments.me actual usage numbers today and 1 year ago?


I won't give you all of our numbers, but If you look at our Chrome Extension page, you can see that we have 35,000 active installations. Much of this growth has happened over the past six months.

These numbers simply aren't well reflected in the Compete score.

My coworkers and I work hard, and believe in what we're doing. Rome wasn't built in a day, let's hold of on the talent acquisition talk ;)


35k active installations does not sound like a lot, especially for a free download.


That's a little harsh of you, and totally unwarranted. The site's user-base has absolutely nothing to do with the article or current conversation.


Are you saying that credentials of the author have nothing to do with the article he wrote?

I think it brings important context.

Besides, the harsh part is lack of traction, not me pointing to it. Don't kill the messenger.
