A bit over a month ago I made a post entitled 23 Tubes 1 Bowl detailing my dispensing of 23 sample size tubes of toothpaste into one bowl. Well, on Tuesday it was posted on BoingBoing.
This had the expected effect, with a tremendous surge in traffic in traffic of 4-5 Mb/sec, with one spike of over 10 Mb/sec. Strangely, despite all the hits, I only received something like $3 in ad revenue over the last day. When Lightsticks In The Toilet made digg the earnings were something like $30 the first day, and $12 the second. This surprised me a bit and showed that dental-related ads probably just don’t pay that much.
That graph up top shows the spike of traffic observed. The server is currently on a burstable 1 Mb/sec connection, billed 95th percentile. As this is figured on a monthly basis I’ve managed to stay under this limit, so this BoingBoinging won’t cost any extra. It’s nice to see that a bunch of people found the photos interesting, too. I had fun taking them, I just didn’t like the strong mint smell which was hanging wherever the bowl went.
