Participation in the Daily Grind has provided a significant boost to my readership. Given x, where x is approximately my average daily unique visitor count for February: On March 2 after the contest had started and been linked to by PvP and Slashdot, my daily unique visitor count was 4x; then throughout most of March it settled down to about 2x. Then at the end of March I was Websnarked, no doubt as a result of Eric's pledge to read every active Grinder every day (though I was in 2004 quasi-snarked as one of several titles recommended to him but not yet scoped out); that day my unique visitors went up to 10x, and since then the weekday count has been hovering at about 3x or 4x. This seems to show that, for every spike in daily visitors totaling y, Arthur, King of Time and Space levels out afterwards at about y/2.
So thanks to all of you who've tried it here and stuck around.
