First and foremost, if you are from Rap Genius let me apologize first. In the past few days I have absolutely hammered your servers. I ended up sifting through 9.1 GB of data. You may or may not have noticed Crawlytics as the user-agent...
Now to the interesting part, a few days ago I spent some time browsing Rap Genius and as I was wondering around I thought wouldn't it be fun to find out which artists are most shared and more importantly how is Rap Genius doing in terms of social media traction.
Here is what I found:
Total shares 440524
Total pages scanned 824001
Total download bandwidth 9.10 GB
Social Spread:
Twitter: 27.7%
Facebook: 67.4%
Google+: 2.7%
Pinterest: 0.1%
Stumbleupon: 2%
Delicious: 0.2%
LinkedIn: 0%
Most shared artists:
Lupe Fiasco
Jayz
Kanye West
In case you were interested how I got these stats, I used https://socialcrawlytics.com/ (Full Disclosure: It is an app that I have created.)
Not too interested in those stats actually, but being a huge hip hop fan I think Rap Genius is a great site and if they can stand that kind of mass-crawling, even better for them!
