And did it do anything for you?

  In the month following the post, we only received ~800 uniques directly from Mashable (it was posted on a late Friday afternoon). But, if you lump in Twitter and direct visits, it was probably closer to 4-5k. Plus the bounce rate on those visits was very low, and the post definitely impacted our Google search result positively.

    It only drive 800 uniques? That is impressively low. I used to buy a weekly link on a blog with 34 times less traffic than mashable. It was generally is a pack of maybe 10-20 other links. That sent me ~10,000-20,000 per week. Other than SEO benefit, that's very disappointing.

      I think time of day made a huge difference. I found out about the post at around 7 PM on a Friday, while I was at a bar with friends. We weren't checking our feed readers; someone texted me the news. All the same - you're right, the traffic was low. A lot of people had thought "we'd made it" from being "Mashed", but clearly, that was anything but the truth. Still, I'll take it.
