Paul’s dampkraft blog has been on the front page of HN quite a lot lately and I’ve enjoyed every post a lot.

I’m wondering if this has helped him generate new leads or clients.

Polm23, if you are reading, do you have any comments on business impact you are willing to share publicly?

Glad you enjoy the articles. I recognize your handle from other posts here, have we met somewhere else?

I've had clients mention seeing my website or seeing my name in articles elsewhere, but I don't remember any mentioning HN. I've also gotten no reaction the few times I've posted on the hirings posts, even with an excellent endorsement one time. On the other hand people do find my site through search engines and I assume HN links help boost rankings there.
