Weird that they use this as Quora's 'onboarding'. I bet they get most of their signups/onboarding from the annoying SEO spam they have with the "signup to see more than the first answer (or close this annoying popup box to see that magical first answer)" popup.

Google needs to give the entire Quora site a large negative ranking Rapgenius-style.

I'm the one who put the teardown together, and I actually completely agree with you - I think it's pretty unlikely that the majority of their signups would actually come from their home page. I thought it was an interesting flow nonetheless and thought I'd document/share.

That's a really helpful site, thanks for putting it together! It'll help me enormously with optimizing my own site's signup flow.

It never gets old to hear that it's helpful - thanks for letting me know!

Well, thanks for that. It looks like it is well made, your comments are interesting enough, and I would never see it, because Quora is seriously annoying.

Edit: Sry for that repeat-comment, kind of redundant.

thanks for doing this, I love your site in general and have seen it before in the past. particularly the Tumblr post!

You're most welcome - thanks for letting me know!

Yes, the heavy handed Facebook login is one of the main reasons I don't create a Quora login. Why oh why did OpenID have to fail? :(
