We're excited to introduce Deal Stats, a new feature designed to provide valuable information to our community's deal posters.
With Deal Stats, you'll have access to key metrics that shed light on the impact your deals have on the community. From the number of views to the clicks on your deal link, these stats aim to enhance transparency and showcase the influence of your contributions.
One of our priorities this year is to enhance the experience of deal posters. They are the lifeblood of our platform; it could not thrive without them.
During our research, we discovered that one of the key motivations for people to post deals is the desire to give back to the community. While votes and comments provide a sense of the value and utility of their contributions, they don't always accurately reflect the overall level of interest. A deal may, on surface, seem to spark little interest from the community, while resonating well with the rest of our audience.
As a result, we have explored various solutions to make the influence of their contributions more conspicuous. For instance, we introduced deal reactions in the UK (which we later decided to abandon due to low adoption rates), and we disclosed some additional data to selected deal posters in Germany.
This final test proved to be successful: deal posters who received the additional data about their deals rated it as particularly valuable and helpful. With Deal Stats we are now bringing the following statistics to all deal posters:
Starting from today onwards, these statistics will be displayed exclusively to their respective deal posters on every deal submitted, across all platforms (Web, Android, iOS).
We're excited to bring you this first version of Deal Stats and eager to hear your feedback. This is one of the many changes we are currently working on to enhance the value for the people actively contribute to the community. Stay tuned for forthcoming updates and additional statistics that may be added in the future!

sorted by[1] Does 45.500+ mean 45,500+ views?
[2] Clicks ("number of times the deal link was clicked on") - I thought this would be about the 'Get Deal/Voucher' button, but not so sure anymore, since the deal below doesn't include such a button but still has 60+ clicks. Please could you clarify the difference between clicks and visits?
[3] Which of these three metrics exclude duplicate counts? Registered users who comment, or sub to comments, on a thread, plus non-registered users who bookmark the thread webpage will likely be viewing/visiting that thread multiple times, which might lead to inflated values.
Thanks!
1) Indeed that is 45,500. I'll speak to the team to see about using , instead of .
2) It will be all clicks from within the deal so if there is no deal link (like your offline deal) it will be links in the description content. I'll update the info on this thread to make that clear. Clicks are also per user. So if a user clicks 5 links in the description, they'll count as a single click from that user.
3) The views is also per user. So if a user sees the thread in New then again in Hot and maybe again in their saved threads it will only count as a single view for that thread. (edited)
across 15 categories (like for example Electronics, Groceries etc.)
45 members every single day get (for posting 3 hottest deals in each category)
-15 x £10 voucher,
-15 x £5 voucher and
-15 x £3 voucher.
Users can only win a single voucher per day, freebies or offline deals are excluded.
at some of the stats on deals I’ve posted.
Its easy to forget how many people use this site.
So neither way is 100% semantically accurate. For our internal data, we are just satisfied that it is consistent in how it works, making everything comparable.
Also, wouldn't this also trigger performance anxiety? Maybe offer a Off switch?
Offline deals and freebies are excluded from the reward criteria. And members can only win a maximum of one voucher a day (edited)
It would be SUPER useful if HUKD could find a way of keeping a deal's comments, even if the deal itself has to be removed
These threads can have some useful and valid information, which all vanishes if a deal gets pulled
That would be a very valuable addition to the site
If you're referring to deleted deals, that is more difficult because there is a reason why the thread cannot remain on site.
Do you have any examples you can remember? We can then look at the deletion reason and see if there are any easy solutions.

The temperature is 255 and the number of comments is 23. It shows you how few people rate the deals and engage with the community! (edited)
ive wanted this for a while sure loads are the same
the stats never lie (edited)
I always thought the point of this site was "Ooh that's a good deal, I'll let other people know about it...", not a desperate attempt for attention and popularity.
Still, I'm looking forward to seeing the results for the use of the G-word, picture of a scantily clad woman, and "vegan" in a single post
Please explain the model behind it and how this can have an statistical evidence/value.
Views relates to the number of times a deal has appeared in someone's For You, Hot, or New feeds (and they've actually seen it), or when they visit another listing (eg, the Electronics group) and scroll down far enough for the deal to appear on their screen.
The value is, I guess, in the eye of the beholder - how we use this number is understanding which deals are getting overall the most exposure on the platform.
When i do the prebuilt market i come of the main stream methods due to "tons of request"
Rather then say past gen with high gpu vs new gen + low gpu.
Or then in any gen
6c + gpu vs 8c + lower gpu.
These request are high but folks get dissed when request it by the normal "spend more on gpu"
Be interest to bring alt ideas further and see how they static do.
Obvious all will be of value being the key to there method for posting reason.
And u may find that stat" they do well despite the usual suspect who slate that method.
I see this being useful feature for the huk regs and the ones with a passion on bring diversity on value deals in many lights ( couldn't care less about the amazon vouchers) (edited)
But the site makes revenue from clicks so they won’t give a dam if your a member or not
So rather than a simple solution, the team have to take into account regional variations in the number format for each Pepper community, but they are working on creating a custom format currently
