Glenn’s link to the Blog Chicks Pix was the 5th Instalanche in OTB history (4 “natural” and one gimme for hosting the Carnival of the Vanities). I don’t know if it’s the subject matter, the timing, or the steady increase in Glenn’s traffic, but this may have been the biggest–if also the shortest.
What’s particularly fun this time is that it became a multiple wave ‘lanche, in that many of the sites linked in the post are experiencing surges in their traffic as well.
Here’s today’s traffic so far:
October so far:
For another perspective, here are some secondary wave effects from Kate at Katewerk, a non-blogging Canadian babe included in the “Hidden Gems” category: her log for today.
And it appears as if Venomous Kate experienced a slight pickup as well.
Update (2300): I’ve updated the graphs to give the picture of what the site looks like as I’m signing off for the night. Traffic is still markedly higher than normal for OTB this time of day but has obviously dropped precipitously as the post has fallen further down Glenn’s reverse chronology of posts. It’ll be archived in a couple of days, although I suspect I’ll get occasional hits to this post from time-to-time for quite a while–as will the many linked Blogging Babes.
