The site was receiving a great deal of traffic from Stumbleupon for a good little run. All of a sudden it ceased, right around the same time that I found their campaign page and registered... So what because they found out i'd be willing to pay money for a little traffic they cut off traffic to the site? It doesn't seem to make sense, so i send 1 email before the weekend... hear nothing, see no change the entire weekend. Let me reiterate comic #28 was thumbed up by more then a few friends and no referral traffic was sent. Anyway Monday... Post new comic hoping it fixes the traffic woes.... comic thumb by a few people -- nothing. Send 2nd email... traffic POURS in for a good hour (300+hits) then stops again. Not even a trickle the rest of the day. A couple things to note -- SU Approval rating for the main website and Mondays comic is about 70% which according to their FAQ is well received by the SU community. So what gives? Still no word from SU. Its discouraging to see hit nearing 1.5k a day and then dropping o nothing.
On a better note I posted comic 30 Today I decided I'm going to do a 5 day series of comics this week based on a theme, partly because i don't like going a day without making a comic (I enjoy it), and partly to see if it has any affect on traffic.
And in an entirely unrelated note: Talking to Australians is a blast.
