If I may ask, what's the bump from Digg like? Not being the most technically savvy of people, I just now discoverd it and red edit after you guys mentioned them here. Pretty cool sties.

the bump from reddit is a lot bigger than digg for some reason...we've gotten anything from 100 to 800/day out of a good reddit.  fark, boing boing, buzzflash, etc., now THEY are the places to get on--we got farked during the hurricanes, got us around 10k.

the more people submit an article, the more NEW hits, it's really that simple.

I got 5,000 hits from Reddit once on one of my blog articles. I have had some submitted to digg, but have never noticed much traffic. Another good one to bump the traffic way up is Slashdot, but it is hard to get an article accepted.

LATOC got farked in the early days. (All the way back in early 2004) It went from 500 a day to 100,000 in two days. Blew out my site for about a week.
