Title: Has there been a surge in site usage/new membership since Forbes Article?
Post by: Bluto on August 15, 2013, 11:38 am
I'm wondering what the effect of the article was and how it is effecting demand on the Silk Road. Has there been a surge in membership or a surge in Vendorship?

Forbes target readership isn't necessarily chronic hashish smokers or cocaine dealers, but there had to be some noticeable effect.

No offense, but my 60 year old mother brought up the road to me 2 years ago (she doesn't do any drugs, never has) because it was all over the media and has been since it started. Pretty much EVERYONE has heard of it, they just think it is to complicated to get on here and get coins....Maybe the Forbes articles well attract a shit load of millionaire business men that have secret habits as Forbes is really an upper class businesss magazine, thats why I am so happy to see the interview there! It will def bring us more business but it just came out and I haven't noticed much of a change and doubt we will really....It won't be a big enough change to notice.

The prices though . If like you say it does attract wealthy men and they order in bulk wouldn't vendors raise there prices because they know theres a demand for them?

OP, the article has even come out in the magizine issue yet.
Id give it 2-4 weeks before we start to see an article-based impact.

Honestly, I've observed certain prices drop.
