After I mentioned that Don Box
had
sent some traffic my way,
Scoble
decided to make it a competition.
Well, the initial results are in and so far it looks
like... a tie! I can't tell exactly because my weblog analyzer aggregates
referrals on a monthly basis, so I don't have a day-by-day breakdown of
referrals, but I think both Don and Scoble ended up with about 140 referrals on
the first day their respective entries were up. I'll report back more next week
when there's been a chance for the referrals to die off and reach a steady
state. (Although I'm guessing Scoble's referrals may die off faster because his
entries recede into the background faster given his fast posting pace...)
I guess when I someday write a "how to drive traffic to your site" entry,
I'll have to be sure to have an entry that says "start a competition between two
well-known webloggers over referrals." (Although in fairness, I don't know
whether Don has really taken up the challenge...)
