Wow

Last Thursday, the post "Reversing Tooth Decay" made it to the front page of Reddit, a news aggregator site. I ended up getting 46,429 hits that day, and another 8,646 the next day. I normally hover between 1,500 and 3,000.

It was a wild ride. I'd like to send out a big thanks to whoever posted the article to Reddit, and everyone who voted for it. I appreciate you helping to spread the message.

    That might explain my spike in hits too. People must have been linking in from my comment. So its caused a ripple effect.

    You also made the Delicious "Popular" RSS feed. That means that a lot of people were bookmarking your article to Delicious. It's the first time I've seen any post from any of the nutrition blogs I follow make it there. Good stuff.

    Quite impressive. Btw, if you could find a way to not use red/green or orange/green as contrasting colors, my color-blind eyes would really appreciate it. The first and third bars of each trinity in your graph are indistinguishable to me.

    Thanks!

    I'll try to remember that.
