Magazines are definitely surprising in their longevity. I still get people signing up for my service from a small mention in a magazine in 2009.

This was definitely our biggest surprise: we expected an early spike and quick tapering, just like we were accustomed to from web traffic.

It's hard for us to know how much residual traffic we still get from Better Homes & Gardens, since there's no referrer to track people coming from magazines.

Yep, same here, I only know because people occasionally say "I saw an article in Woman's Day" when they send a support email.
