Due to some crummy indexing by MSN my succinct blurb about Steve Erwin generated way more traffic than was warranted. It seems that yesterday my site was in the top five results for Steve+Erwin+Video largely because MSN mashed together two posts. Here’s a screen grab of it finally depreciating off the front page.
My traffic moved from its comfortable and sleepy 120 unique hits per day to over 500–oddly enough right about dinner time–and I’m surprised my connection and server held up. Way to go, Redmond.
***Oh, and come to find out I’ve spelt his last name wrong. Way to go, elwoodicious.***
Heh. I was just reading that blurb and was wondering how that child who posted comments managed to find it.
Yeah, wicked odd search results. All tallied yesterday’s traffic was over 1,000 unique visitors most of them looking for the video of his death and some 80% from MSN thanks to their awesome ranking algorithms.
