    Your link was probably erased for newer data.

    Same here.
    Never get ANY submittals showing up in my stat sheets.
    Wasn't spamming wither- it was good original content.

    Any ideas what they are doing there?
    Seems to be some sort of ban list or something by IP perhaps.

    So you get 0 uniques even when your links are on the homepage?

    Never got one on the front page- it goes to the paying members in a queue, however.
    Most certainly they have some kind of user block system going on there.

    Maybe no one found your submission interesting and subsequently, didn't click on it.

    I got a front page link on I Am Bored many months ago and got outrageous traffic from it. It's actually funny to look back in Analytics and see the huge spike. I wound up making $5.00 in adsense that day (as opposed to my usual 25 cents), with like 40+ clicks. It was worthless traffic though...and it's similar to what you'd get on Fark.

    The link I gave you should help: fark users visit your site... and leave. They might give you one day boost (like mentioned at the shoemoney article), but that's pretty much it. Most of them won't stick.

    Or your link was removed, naturally that's possible.

    Yea that is usual with most of the social networking sites, however it depends on your website, it can retain the visitors for next visit especially if your site has some interesting and useful content.

    Can you give the exact url for I Am Bored? I tried IAmBored.com but it didn't go to a "real" site.

    Thanks!
