I know what you are saying about a web traffic increase. But the real question is what did your metrics say about the traffic you were getting? Did the people stay on the page? Was the bounce rate and time spent on site high or low? Did it affect your overall bottom line? I bet that it was pretty much the "digg" like junk traffic that eats up bandwidth but doesn't have a high ROI...traffic for traffic's sake. If not, I would be surprised. I will have to take a look at the law of impressions...sound like an interesting theory. Interesting post, Jesse.
