Danny – Digg probably sent you a lot more traffic than that through “direct referrals” from people clicking the link through the RSS feeds. That said, 7,200 is relatively low for a Digging – maybe due to seasonality or the interest level of Diggers or something else.

We see between 8-12,000 uniques on average over 24 hours from a Digg mention.

I was figuring you had loads of traffic already with most SEW readers converting to SEL?

URLs are the date and time, YYMMDD-HHMMSS. There's a very good reason to do this, protects you from moving to a new server. See Movable Type & Rebuild Safe URLs.

Well done on the first Digg.

Off topic: I really hate the urls in SE Land. What does 061220-075717.php signify?

The site is great and this is my only minor complaint.
