This one is still very true, but these days, it is one link in mainline media is what causes the big bumps like the Carrick effect .
I have learned about the Digg Effect from John Chow and his initial success posting about pop-up urinals in Vancouver (I am not making that story up). In the Ottawa Financial Community, there is one member whose link to you on his site drives significant traffic: the Canadian Capitalist.
I learned about the Digg Effect fromJohn Chow, who initially gained success by writing about pop-up urinals in Vancouver. However, in the Ottawa Financial Community, when the Canadian Capitalist mentioned you on his site, traffic increased significantly.
I want to dub this traffic increase, “The Capitalist Effect“. I discussed this with Michael James on Money and he has noticed the same thing as well. The red circle highlights the day he mentioned my “So I should Divorce my Wife” post, in his This and That #102 .
The same thing happened to this site when I added a Comment to John Chow’s monthly gloating about how much money he makes, and how little I make, so Traffic comes from being known by the “Big Boys” and sometimes even the “Intermediate Guys” too!
