Did traffic return to the pre-spike baseline eventually, or have you seen a sustained increase?

- brazzy 16y agoIt hasn't been long enough to say for sure, but after nearly a month it looks like a sustained increase of 200-300 visits/day. Of course, it's a slightly atypical case, as it's a static site meant to be a reference, i.e. likely to be bookmarked and linked to, but not subscribed to or visited regularly. An interesting observation: the gradual decrease of visits once the the site is off the HN/slashdot frontpage seems to be mainly the result of aggregators or content scrapers, i.e. sites that display infrequently updated snapshots or digests of these pages (or people's twitter timeline).
