Avery, how are the stats complied? I had 25,000 visitors after the NYT story hit, all from about June 10 to June 17 or so. I went to one site and it showed I had 57 hits in May - ahem. Many times that per day, according to my statcounter. I guess you check on Alexa?

I use the Alexa web site traffic rankings as the basic data. I've noticed a distinct lag between traffic changes measured by my site meter and when the difference is reflected on Alexa. Also: it feels like Alexa is time-weighted, so steady build in traffic over several weeks has more impact that a single pulse. Although 25,000 hits is very impressive. (I am not worthy!)
