So last week there was the whole incident where Yahoo! put my little post about the Tropicana redesign two clicks from their homepage, resulting in a lot of traffic to the site. This much, in fact:
This is a graph of how many visitors my site gets each day, and on July 2nd, last Thursday, you can see there’s a giant spike where it goes up to 32,301 visitors. Previously i’d been getting eight or twelve people a day, maybe. The total number of comments on the Tropicana post is over 150 now, and the Sierra Mist post has another 25.
Alas, i have zero new subscribers, so the number of visitors has gone pretty much right back down. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted!

That’s awesome, Steph! I was pretty excited when I had one day that resulted in a 75 person hike in my readership… nothing compared to 32,000! It may be your 15 minutes of fame!

Wow!

Don’t worry about your subscribers. Just keep up the great work and people will follow.
