I've had the fortune of having a VM post get linked by some big name site. It's happened twice from NewsBusters, but my best one was from AnnCoulter.com. Watching the spike in traffic on my web analytics page those days was extremely exciting, and I can only hope that some of those first-time visitors have come back from time to time.
But I am nearly as excited when other "lowly" individual on the blogosphere gets mentioned. And that happened to the Bookworm Room blog, which appears on the VM blogroll. Yesterday "Bookworm" got the shoutout of shoutouts -- from El Rushbo himself. And it was well-deserved; her post on Rush is very well done.
The traffic spike as a result of Rush's mention was visible at SiteMeter:
Congratulations, Bookworm!
