Why is the web traffic surging?

We have one winner and two losers.

The winner: Daniel Horowitz of The Emergent Fool

- Yes, as Daniel guessed it, Google is sending about one thousand people a day on Midas Oracle .ORG, and more than half of that is related to my post about how to download Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s documentary film, HOME. The web traffic is from Europe and from Down Under —with very little traffic coming from the U.S. (Here’s why.)

The losers: Paul Hewitt of Toronto Prediction Market Blog and Niall O’Connor of Betting Market

- Twitter sent us only 11 people, yesterday, Paul. The value of Twitter also lays in the interaction between bloggers and readers. I got plenty of comments thru Twitter.

- Niall, eat more fish. :-D

ADDENDUM: Of course, posting about The Planet Earth From Above is not part of the mission statement of Midas Oracle. But I always try to get inbound links. And that documentary might be an opportunity —we will know later on. Because of all the inbound links we got (from all topics), any post on prediction markets or collective forecasting appears on top at Google. See, publishing on other topics help in the end.
