I don't know if being worried

Someone, somewhere, linked my Budweiser gay commercial post (http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/660099.html)... it's the only explanation, since today that post had more than 600 visits! Only that I don't know who, and this thing let me perplexed... someone on my flist knows what is happening? I lost some pieces to understand a puzzle?

ETA: Thanks to my anonymous friend, the mystery is resolved. I was linked today in an article by Seth Stevenson on Slate:

Well, thank you Seth, even if I don't know you, you send toward me a lot of people today!

I wish LJ had a set of traffic tools. [nod/sigh] You can use LJ Toys to count hits and look at IP addresses (I assume you're using that if you know how many hits you're getting) but there's no way I know of to see referring links. I'd love to be able to see that data; I have some stories on my other journal which get little flurries of his periodically, so I know they've been linked somewhere, I just can't find them. :/

My advice is to just take it as a compliment. Someone thought you posted something cool and linked it. :)

You were linked as a guest speaker at [livejournal.com profile] shared_wisdom earlier today--some of the traffic may have come from there.

it's from slate

the traffic is probably coming from the above slate article about another ambiguously gay ad.
