Comments on: A Look at the Digg Effect in Action http://metabestblogwin.com/2007/04/23/a-look-at-the-digg-effect-in-action/ It's like that story in D. Hofstadter's book about the Tortoise, Achilles and the Djinni who pushed and popped their way into nested levels of awareness, only it's a blog.

The whole point of getting on digg isn't the traffic, it's the linkage that you get from it. I’ve found that the RSS subscribers jump mostly because of all the incoming links after a digg.

(a little more than an image with a spike in it *grin*) @Trent, the 'page views per visitor' metric is nice to have, but alone it doesn't tell the full story. When you factor in the time spent on the site with the visit depth, you can derive more specific ways to measure your traffic. It will help answer the question of how well your visitors use your site. (Do they click through quickly through a couple utility pages and leave? Do they spend time viewing your site and the content? not all pageviews are equal) ...just some food for thought.
