I've actually found Sphinn has been sending far more traffic over the past month or so. Hot posts have been generating 400+ visitors, which is well above the 200 or so I used to get. Not quite sure if that's due to an increase in usage...?

I've had a number of hot sphinns on a number of my blogs, and I still get more from SU... but it's all about who- this is an industry insider network, so it's about whether experts in Search and SM see my stuff.

It's also topic-specific. I think my "SEO for Phone Numbers" post only got about 150 referrals. Maybe next time I'll do "Britney Spears Phone Number & SEO?".

Angelina Jolie tries out twitter! How about that for a completely unexpected and untrue post idea? try that!

Well, sorry, but I'm really disappointed. This post says nothing about the "value" of Sphinn. It just recounts traffic numbers. I've been popular on Sphinn a few times recently and depending on the topic, post and time of getting "hot" I got 100 to 400 visitors but that's not that interesting. It's not the "value" of Sphinn.

I have to agree with Onreact, I was expecting a little more. In terms of traffic, my last Sphinn frontpage sent 347 visitors.

408 for me, however, I got more from SERoundtable. SELand sends less traffic at the peak times than these two, but keeps sending lower amounts over much longer periods of time...

Tad, I guess I agree with you. Perhaps I should have provided a bit more explanation as to what you would find. I just figured most Sphinners would be interested in knowing how much traffic you could get.
