I got 3000 withing three days. Then some lifehacker.com grabbed it and i got another 2000 within two days. Other people quickly rip the content form shoutwire and begin throwing you links. So you can expect traffic from forums, and other blogs. Skinny
large amount of traffic The thing is you have to find a good news related to your website which will make them link to you!
It's said to be the same as Digg though the traffic is much more smooth so your server don't die in pain.
Well, mine hasn't been deleted yet... http://www.shoutwire.com/profile/tomzx , but I can feel it will pretty soon.
I got 7000 the first day, 5000 the second and then 1000 etc. 75% Came from shoutwire/other related websites and 25% from digg. Pretty nice traffic but not much $ .
