Darren Rowe(ProBlogger), has had a growing following of his own across multiple sites that he blogs on. What is interesting to see is the "Slashdot Effect" in his stats. (by the way they were open to the public by clicking on a link). It is easy to tell that the post was done on Saturday with a tremendous spike in traffic on Sunday and approaching more normal traffic late Sunday or Monday. I have blurred out the exact numbers out of respect for the owner of the site.(No he did not ask me to)
