But like you mentioned, it is even better to cash in on them. By preparing for the outcome of traffic building campaigns, webmasters can greatly increase their earnings. Subtle changes like changing the location of opt-in forms or certain pieces of advertising can make a huge difference in the bottom line when it comes to a traffic spike. -Guillermo Puyol Pat, it is definitely cool to see a spike in your traffic stats.

It's good to hear though that you managed to get a tutorial post on the Digg homepage and on the delicious popular list. I'm sure that created a nice spike. Yeah, breaking news can be tough Andre.

The Breaking News category is tough, as you say, unless you have some inside connections. More than once I've found something juicy and under-reported and posted it, only to find it on the front page of Digg a few hours later (and definitely not because of me!). Lots of others thought it was juicy and under-reported too! I've had the best luck so far with a tutorial-type post, which did land me on the Digg homepage and delicious popular for a bit.

Yeah, sometimes some strange things can get traffic spikes out of nowhere, such as mentionings of Paris Hilton or sexy girls. Leo, you'll want to get a Web Analytics package. A couple of free good ones to try are http://www.performancing.com/metrics and http://www.google.com/analytics. Ah, too bad I missed Webmaster World.

I've been seeing traffic spikes of the types you mentioned. One type is the one generated when I write about Paris Hilton and/or Sexy Girls - that's sure to get someone's attension, particularly in the Arab Countries - at least, that's what I noticed. Then, we at Know More Media Blog network, have occasionaly produced a traffic spike to one of our blogs using AdWords/AdSense. A couple of weeks ago I had a 1000 visitors a day for a couple of days due to Adwords advertising. I got a traffic lift that remained afterwards. I'm not going to Ad-Tech (was just at Webmasterworld in Bostin) but I kinda wish I were going - sounds like it's going to be a good show.
