On Wednesday this week I blogged about Finland being the first country to mandate a broadband line for every citizen. This post was announced on Twitter and Facebook, and I mentioned @robinwauters in my tweet as being the inspiration for my blog.
Shortly thereafter my blog was listed as a follow up story on TechCrunch. When Mashable mentioned the same fact, I entered a comment on their site, linking back to my blog post.
The effect can be seen in the graph below:
Some conclusions from this graph:
- Apparently I blog every other day, will try to make this every day in the future
- Getting a reference on TechCrunch and commenting on Mashable gets you traffic. Re-emphasises the importance of both sites, and their respect and trust in the community
