So yesterday my stats indicated hundreds and hundreds (and hundreds) of people came to my blog via a post on Slashfood from August, that I had left a comment on with a link.
It just seems super-super weird to me. I am (just out of curiosity) wondering if anyone knows if that post (About Grilled Cheese Day) was featured in a newspaper or a magazine or something? (Andrew? Sarah? Beth? You all post on Slashfood...don't you?)
I looked around at Technorati and whatnot couldn't find anything that would explain this (excellent) phenom.
I know this is silly, but I really am curious why a post from August with a comment and a link would suddenly have people swarming to my blog.
Thanks!
Rachael

I did notice the comments are down, but still, more than 500 people clicked through to my site from that paticular post. Thats just craziness. Unless...maybe they are having people from all over the world check things to make sure they work?
Any which way...it was a heck of a lot of interest in a asparagus and cheese sandwich. LOL
Thanks Andrew.
Did you try googling something obvious to see if the slashfood thing got some secondary mention? I've had spikes from someone linking to a SF thing that then went to me...but not so many hits as you got. Interesting thing this Internet.
I had the same thing happen, although it wasn't 500 people! Sort of bizarre, but isn't everything in this weird internet business? It always makes me laugh.
Shauna. Was it from Slashfood? Was it recently?
I have done a few searches to see if anyone linked TO that post, but nothing came up...
It has been a few days now and the trend has reversed. It just struck me as weird so I thought I would ask.
Thanks everyone!
oh rachael, it's just your day, girl! YOUR DAY!
;)
okay, but can you look at your stats to see WHO the users are? if it's the same user, its probably the thing that andrew said above, but if they're all different, then, like i said, popular girl!! :)
