Getting hiccups from Inq7.net

I’ve been linked by Inq7.net many many times in the past and not one of them caused any of my servers to go down. The best traffic I got from them on a single day is around 12,000 uniques (from Infotech section) and I thought they couldn’t give me any trouble like the dreaded Slashdot, Digg, Fark or Boing-boing.

Not until today when I got two stories from them in the last 12 hours. One was about the pictures re-posted by Bryanboy on his blog and another about the long-standing Jollibee scandal on Youtube. I’m sure everyone here knows about those two already.

The direct referrals were ok, but then a barage of Google searches for related Jollibee keywords were coming my way too.

All’s fine now. Just fixed Apache.

Congrats on the INQ7 traffic!

I didn’t know that INQ7 covered the Jollibee Scandal. Where is it?

So instead of gaming Digg, get Erwin to write about you!

About the first link: I guess people don’t bother clicking on Jollibee and go to PTB instead to see the statement.

Erwin will loads of traffic to your site. You just have to buy him lunch and say that a pretty girl named Chica will be there :)

Obet, I think Erwin knows better, that Chica is there in the States!

Now I miss my lost N80 with the Nokia Podcaster…
