Well, by mad i mean more than what i was getting before, which was not much. Observe this image.

This is the stats from Woopra. If you don’t know what Woopra is head on over there and check it out. Awesome real-time stats. You can even start a chat with anyone that is on your site!

As you can see i’ve had over 2000 hits today. Yesterday was a fair few and the day before was even more than that. but today is the best so far. You can see what post is getting the traffic. That post is 5 months old now and i stumbled it as soon as i posted it. 2 days ago it was a post about finding a niche that caught the SU bug and went a bit nuts. That was also a few months old. I think what might have happened is that post was made popular and then someone stumbled the website worth post which then caught on.

To be honest i really don’t have much idea how StumbleUpon works. Why would a post be so popular 5 months after it was initially posted? Does it take someone on Stumble Upon with a large following to stumble something in order to get the crazy traffic? Why doesn’t it work with everything? I guess there are answers to these questions out there but i haven’t looked for them yet. I would really like to reverse engineer what happened so i can make it happen again! I wonder if now the blog has started to get this traffic that it will continue. I guess i just need to keep posting interesting things and try to get visitors to view more than just that one page for 3 seconds. hah.

Anyway, i thought that was cool, at one point there was 53 people online at the same time. rad.
