I figured I would share a bit of insight into my most recent recent visit to the Digg homepage. The results were ming boggling to say the least. As I watched the stats rise, I jaw dropped. I got on the phone with Neil Patel (recent interview) and asked him the question of how many unique visits should a Digg homepage post send. He responded with a few questions of his own having to do with when it was submitted, how many diggs did it receive, and so on. After I answered those questions he estimated that I would have received 10,000 visits or so. When I told him of my results, he too was shocked!
Basically, depending upon which source you value, I brought in between 40,902 and 49,367 visitors on day one of the digg effect. Not bad traffic at all for a post that took my about 15 minutes to write up.

Did you make any money off all those visits? Any clicks on your CPC ads?
Good lord that’s alot of traffic!
Man interesting results
looks like i need to try to get a story dugg to the front page!
You’ve done very well!
I got twice in Digg’s homepage, the first I got 40.000 visitors till my server crashed and the second was 20.000.
I think it is important on which category your digg story is, and the time that you submit it. For instance if you got in first page late at night, you can’t have more than 10.000 visitors, while when you got there in the middle of the day it can bring much more.
