How did that happen?! re: random traffic sources
I'm going through some old files trying to clear space on my HD and I came across a picture that prompted this question.
Where is the most random place you've ever gotten significant traffic from and how did you get there?
Mine is ReadersDigest.com. I had a blog post that got to the top 10 of a Digg category and the next thing I know it's on the front page of RD.com in their daily Top 10 list. I ended up getting about 110k hits in 48 hours. Totally freaked out when I logged into my analytics and saw the spike. Thought it was a mistake until I went to the RD site and saw it for myself. I did a screen capture just for proof.
Now if only I'd known about affiliate marketing back then....
All that traffic and didn't make a single penny from it.
