		<description>Hi Mel - yes, many do come back.  Mine did spike for a few days, but it never fell to the levels it fell to before.

A lot of people seem to have stumbled the post, which proves it was popular.  So you just need to keep writing more!

I agree on the commenting bit - my comments haven&#039;t increased much.  I&#039;ve noticed that most stumblers seem to spend their time reading and stumbling, so they probably don&#039;t have any time left to comment.</description>

		<description>@CatherineL

that&#039;s interesting. throughout all this, the traffic has been high but somewhat uniform within the last 2 months. would like to think that at least some of those people have stayed and keep coming back. 

i have read on other sites that stumbleupon traffic last a max of 1-2 weeks too.... so it totally disproves the theory that stumbleupon traffic is temporary and causes short spikes (as mine has been uniform and not spiky at all).

in mint, it does show other posts being looked at a lot too. also seems like people are browsing/ reading more than commenting.</description>

		<description>Hi Mel - sorry I&#039;m such a dope sometimes.  I&#039;ve discovered where all your traffic has come from.

I just started using stumbleupon in January, and I liked your genius or normal test, so I discovered it on StumbleUpon and reviewed it.  

It looks like plenty of other people like it too, because after that, lots of people have reviewed it and voted it.

If you go to the link below, you can see it.  And if you click the little bubble near the stumbleupon sign, it will show you everyone who has reviewed it and voted it.  I&#039;m not sure this works if you don&#039;t have a stumbleupon account, but you can get one at www.stumbleupon.com

Here&#039;s the link to the reviews:

		<description>Hi Mel - that&#039;s a pretty amazing increase considering you haven&#039;t been posting.  Do you have no idea at all where it&#039;s all coming from?  That genius post you did was pretty popular, but did your traffic come because of that, or before it?</description>

		<description>I would think so. Looking at your traffic fills me with the sense of doom. I&#039;m lucky if I get 50 unique hits a day. Of course, I haven&#039;t always posted things with regularity and definitely not interesting things. LOL

But wow. you gotta keep it alive! you can do it!</description>
