Alright, this happened to me yesterday .. I was getting a average of 2k+ UV a day.. but like anyone else I had the urge of getting to the top! Well, I got to the top! One of my stories was getting good diggs! 20 - 30 - 45 .. I was happy.. could see people coming in.. After 5 hours? or so.. Suddenly, my traffic monitor showed a immense increase in visitors! when I checked the source, it was Digg.com, Main Page!! which made people come from popurl, people's blogs and God knows where! My blog went crazy, (6000 visitors in 1 hour) so crazy, it started giving database errors.. I called my host, told him the situation which first, he couldn't understand but then after 15 minutes.. their server crashed.. and eventually the had to suspend my blog from their servers till it was okay! Bottom line is, before you ask for any traffic, make sure you are not on shared hosting (like $10 a month scenarios).. Always be on a VPN or a Dedicated server if you ever want to stay on the top.. Well, my site's been down for 15 hours.. I called the company again, told em it's settled down so put it back up again. They did! and now I'm shifting it to another server, this time, with the assurance that it will not go down! :/
thats something.. its a good luck also not so if you're hosting specs are not ready for it lol.. by the way is that your forum in sig?
wow.. You nearly got a ton of continuous visitors.. If you had put your blog in a good shared server ( yes.. you dont always need a dedicated one). You could have retained ur traffic and reaped $xxx Anyway. gd luck buddy. I think you might have $3000 in your hands soon with that kina traffic
