Residual Popularity

I can always tell when Mr. Fat Cyclist publishes a new piece on Cyclingnews.com, because the traffic on this humble little blog of mine always skyrockets.

I average about 30-35 unique hits a day. Not shabby considering the relative unpopularity of cycling in the US, my complete lack of fame or notoriety, and my distaste for advertising and link-whoring.

When Mr. Fat gets published on Cyclingnews, my 30-hit average doubles instantly. I wonder if all of those people following the link from his blog to mine are disappointed when they get here, or if they even bother to stay and read at all. I don't have a lot to say, but it's nice to know at least a few people here and there are stopping by.

Thanks again, Fat Cyclist.
