I've gotten linked in Fark.com and Digg.com in the past two days. Fark Technology news gave me almost 6000 according to their counter. Digg.com gave me 7900 hits in just 1 hour of it being posted. Slashdot rejected.
Google Analytics Report
Why the Popularity?
I posted an article finding the urls of all unlisted google categories. I posted on digg.com and nobody seemed all that interested. Even when showing my friends they replied dumbly, "but google has a more button that gives more options". Few people clicked digg and my post was swallowed.
I posted on fark, never having had a link accepted after posting a good few. I didn't expect it to work but in what had to have been less than 5 minutes it was accepted and in their technology section.
I added a digg link to my article and enough traffic from fark, then a few couple of hundred people an hour, clicked digg and set me climbing in digg.com. I should have done it a day sooner.
Digg had monstrous effects in that it also trigged people using delicious to favorite my site and many watchful bloggers to add my site to their google blogs.
