I’m a brand new blogger, so please pardon how pathetic my traffic stats are. Having said that, I found that submitting a site to stumble generates some pretty quick traffic spikes.

The two spikes were on 1/13 & Today and the posts in question were

• Local is hard
• Foreigner Fees at a New York restaurant (still makes me rant)

My traffic hasn’t lasted which suggests that my blog doesn’t line up well with what folks on Stumble are looking for which is heartbreaking (ok maybe I’m exaggerating). Nevertheless, the temporary spike is impressive. Even more impressive is the real-time response. The lag between today’s submission and a traffic response was about 45 minutes.
