Then suddenly it pulled 42,856 uniques over 3 days, an average of 14,285 uniques per day. You said in your dugg post that this resulted in your server (dedicated) being down for about 9 minutes. It must've been during the highest number of visits - I wonder what's that number?

Also, I think some people are of the belief that a CTR should be an average or low number - like 2-3%. Honestly, adsense ads are soooo targeted, that if you are doing a good job on the layout of your blog my personal experience is that you can get a much higher CTR. This depends on the placement of the content in relation to the ads, and the keywords in your articles of course. On some of my blogs I have achieved CTR's as high as 10-12% which sustained for many days. CTR to your web site is the same as Return on Investment (ROI) to a business or as Food Cost is to a restaurant. The restaurant is a great example because everybody wants more customers - but that doesn't always happen. But, if you increase the amount each customer spends (they call that "average ticket") - when you do get more customers you'll get more money. So using that analogy, increasing the CTR IS the most important thing, because fluctuations in traffic will come and go... Click through rate is important, I think some people tend to forget that.

So that's why when you got dugg with 4200% traffic increase, no CTR increase you got, since most visitors came from digg are tech-savvy. Btw, your post enlighten me as usual, many thanks.
