I get a few extra hits around film festivals and big movie premieres, but I always wondered what it would be like to have a highly trafficked site on a regular basis. That being said, I've added you to my blog folder. I feel exactly the same as you do.

And, yes, reciprocal affection does indeed work. @Daniel Andrews - The most popular searches are for 'zanshin' and 'shotski's ring.' I've added them, plus a couple other frequently searched for or referred by terms to the 'Popular' section of my sidebar. As @Kit pointed out, more focuses and more informative posts will likely generate higher sustained traffic over time. @Ian - I was using MovableType (v 2.661) before switching to Wordpress.

Also, I was directed here from Shawn Blanc. Sometimes that reciprocal affection does work, eh? Out of curiosity, what CMS did you use before switching to WordPress?

Obviously you have some sort of authority on these issues. Write about them more! People will come, and eventually you'll be in business.

Not only was my site under an ancient version of MT (2.661), I hadn't refreshed the meta information in ages either. @Kit - thanks. I hope to write some more informative posts soon. @Charles - Heart racing, palms sweating, the whole bit. Like you say, it may not last, but <em>wow</em>, what a ride it is today. @Rafael - Yes, it certainly seems like it. Time to go buy a lottery ticket. <grin /> @John Ronsse, I think you are right.

I wrote a little freeware application a couple of months ago that got mentioned on a couple of Mac blogs, and all of the sudden Mint was showing several thousand visits within a few hours. Really woke me up! That kind of volume didn't stay around, but I've had consistently more traffic since then.
