I'm amazed he didn't have any data prior to this.

We used to ask people all the time if the would send us their sanitized logs so we could see the "reddit effect", or at least give us the aggregate data.

I had some estimates, but this was the first time that I was ever 100% completely on the outside looking in.

You two should set up a website. Allow voting on comments, or something.. :)

Fair enough. :)

I should see if I can get one of my posts to the top of reddit. So far all my best submissions were on the reddit blog.

I've noticed that it really depends on what subreddit your link gets featured in on Reddit.

I still get a lot of traffic from r/food, but it was relatively miniscule compared to the traffic I got from a post in r/reddit.com (which no longer has any incoming traffic).
