Simple content can drive traffic
Look at how simple this page is:
Strange Things You Likely Didn't Know
However, it is an interesting page when you read it. It got picked up by Digg.com and sent a lot of traffic to the site. You can see the spike if you look it up in Alexa.

It'd be cool to see a post mortem of how something like this spreads.
This is so bizarre. I think it attests more to the power of sites like digg.com than anything else.
Clearly poor Robin's server couldn't handle the traffic: her site 404's now. But not to worry: there is nothing new about this site. If you care to see her page, it's in the Internet Archive. However, the content is available verbatim on about a bazillion other sites.
It's not really relevant, I guess, that the content is full of misinformation, anyway. This is chainmail quality stuff.
It's resonant all right, but this sort of traffic spike seems to me to be utterly unreproducible. I agree with Peter, it would indeed be interesting to see how and why this one random page caught on. I suspect that it's simply a result of digg.com's new slashdot effect, and little else.
I got something similar href="http://amazingthing.blogspot.com" and never smell that kind of traffic. Wonder if putting a link here will make a difference.
Got the html wrong. Give me a second chance: Amazing Things
