On the Official AuctionAds Blog CTO David Dellanave posted a picture of the hardware that powers AuctionAds and also some stats:
For the month of April we are averaging over 60 million hits per day. Thats roughly:
400 hits/sec at peak times
58 gigs of Javascript per day
134 gigs of HTML per day
16 gigs of RAM cache
1.1 gigs of MySQL (yes, only)

Boooooo….I was thinking of another kind of rack!

Wow, that is some pretty impressive hardware! I’m really stunned at how little mysql bandwidth there is!
May 3, 2007 at 7:54 am
Good to see the auctionads blog is taking off too. Seems that area is getting a ton of traffic too.
May 2, 2007 at 5:20 am
Yea, and google overall
Would like to see their main server 
May 1, 2007 at 2:40 am
how much will that set you back?
yeah btw misleading title! haha … linkbait alert!!
May 1, 2007 at 12:23 am
In some cases it can be bad but for the most part I think we’d all be better off if some global stats were published by the big networks, like I don’t see the problem with letting publishers know the percentage paid out on a click or action or for that matter what a sites CTR or CPM is..
May 1, 2007 at 12:20 am
Definately, though it makes you wonder how much computing power adsense uses
May 1, 2007 at 12:19 am
More then likely he wasn’t joking… Auctionads must be like printing your own money
May 1, 2007 at 12:18 am
Ya it’s impressive but don’t forget it’s just hits, I would be curious to see how many individual people auctionads reaches every day though
May 1, 2007 at 12:15 am
I’m actually not surprised.. I mean they are serving ad’s to 10,000+ websites.. That being said it certainly puts my own bandwidth useage to shame
April 30, 2007 at 2:19 pm
I was hoping to see some females
April 30, 2007 at 12:55 pm
well it’s not always good to share your stats…
April 30, 2007 at 9:49 am
You know… we don’t do anywhere near that much traffic and our hardware isn’t that much different. I think I went overkill making sure we didn’t have any downtime. Better too much than too little, though.
April 30, 2007 at 9:46 am
Pun, or just Jeremy’s spelling. Tough call.
April 30, 2007 at 6:00 am
that would be an interesting spec to hear. I don’t know how you could guess based on the informatyion given, but I don’t see why Jeremy wouldn’t just give that info. I am sure its an insaine number as well.
April 30, 2007 at 5:58 am
LOL.. I think they misses the spelling of cashed… nice pun!
April 29, 2007 at 1:55 pm
that’s what she said… not really
April 29, 2007 at 1:47 pm
I guess from the number of hits once could calculate how many ads the network is serving daily, right?
April 29, 2007 at 12:55 pm
I just signed up for auction ads yesterday from an email I received….I will let you know how it works for me jeremy!
April 29, 2007 at 1:30 am
Yeah, I can certainly see 1300+ diggers drooling over that machine. (Heck, even I did
)
April 28, 2007 at 9:36 pm
Ya, it’s odd what gets digged and what doesn’t… err probably not
tech = digg
April 28, 2007 at 12:28 pm
60 Million hits per day!
April 28, 2007 at 12:26 pm
That would make for one hell of a home computer. =P I bet it took an insane amount of thought to hook all that up.
April 28, 2007 at 11:43 am
hmmm is it very efficient? by the looks of it, it seems so… any chance on licensing?
April 28, 2007 at 2:13 am
Yeah, and it probably still won’t run the game “Crysis” when it comes out later on this year
April 28, 2007 at 2:12 am
I’m more impressed at the number of diggs!
(Must be all the mentions of the word “rack”
)
April 27, 2007 at 10:28 pm
Thats some serious computing power! Takes $ to make $ i gues
April 27, 2007 at 7:52 pm
What a rack!
April 27, 2007 at 7:50 pm
Holy Moses that’s some data transfer! Hmm, looks like I take up about a whole 3 seconds worth of Auction Ads resources per day.
April 27, 2007 at 4:58 pm
That brings back nightmares of my day job. I’m so glad I don’t have to spend my time messing with that stuff anymore!
April 27, 2007 at 3:07 pm
Its ShoeMoneycached
April 27, 2007 at 2:25 pm
Wow.. that’s a serious rack..
April 27, 2007 at 2:09 pm
we use our own proprietary cashing technology
April 27, 2007 at 2:07 pm
do yall use memcached?
April 27, 2007 at 2:02 pm
Nice bit of kit you have there, looking at the hardware prices its so much cheaper than UK Dell Kit
April 27, 2007 at 2:01 pm
I have a setup similar to that.. In my dreams.. LOL
April 27, 2007 at 1:33 pm
man that is some awesome stats!!!
April 27, 2007 at 1:29 pm
Wow that thing is sexy!
April 27, 2007 at 12:02 pm
Nice Rack! That’s an insane amount of data transfer.
