Indeed, it was exceptionally high, but look at it more like just reading Hacker News, or Reddit or digg for interesting stories. I happened to read a lot of blog posts, quite a few really good. I don't make any really interesting amount of money from the blog (I'd love to, but it is hard). The number of subscribers that resulted is hard to tell. At most, I can tell how many people clicked on my subscribe page after visiting, but they don't necessarily subscribe in the end. I have added event tracking, now I could do it... But in September I could not (Google changed its code). It was exceptionally high, but from what I've seen, the blogging community suggests the best ways are guest posting "by far" and the blog commenting. And from what I've seen... It is false. Guest posting results in very few visits which result in very few more subscribers.
