An interesting titbit of information from this post is the approx. # of visitors reaching the front page of HN can get you:

"BlinkLink managed to get about 50k pageviews against 17k visitors"

I'm not sure on how much other sources (Reddit, Twitter) contributed to that number though.

From my articles that have hit the top 10, 50k pageviews with a little bit of virality seems reasonable.

You can roughly estimate the amount of visitors on a front-page HN post by 1 point :: 100 unique visitors. In this case, (17k visitors on 138 points), visitors viewed the page 3-4 times, which is unusual.

>visitors viewed the page 3-4 times, which is unusual. well, this had the bizarre counting effect that had some people refreshing a lot to see how fast it was going down or if anyone was tweeting it to make it go back up etc.
