This week I found out just how powerful Matt Drudge’s website really is.  He featured my blog on http://www.drudgereport.com.  Within minutes, the high volume of traffic shut down my blog.

I called Larry, our web guy to find out what could be done to fix the problem.  He had to move my post to the regular news portion of counton2.com because it could handle the higher traffic volume.  He then contacted Drudge to get them to change the URL to that page.  Well, the link stayed up for pretty much the whole day Tuesday on The Drudge Report.

Larry tells me that about 62,000 people clicked on my story there.  That is just crazy.  I’ll definately look for other stories that might be of interest to Matt, because that’s about as many clicks in one day that I’ve ever seen on our site. 

I just thought I’d let you guys know how much power that website has.  A co-worker told me he saw my story on drudgereport.com before he even came into work.  He was just browsing to find out what was going on then he clicked on my story and realized we were on Drudge.  That’s powerful stuff.
