This site has been operating for quite a while, averaging about 4000 unique visitors a month. Three days ago, an article was put on lwn.net about my site, UbuntuHCL.org.
Since then (April 1st) I have received over 6000 unique visitors (2000 more than the entire month of march) and tons of signups and reviews. My server was overloaded, I had to shut down a bunch of unneeded processes and add APC functionality to my site to keep up. Since then people have been taking notice, and articles about my site are being posted all over the web. I received 1500 referrals from a site called opennet.ru, and a few hundred from a site called hup.hu. And traffic is not dying down, it's still increasing!
Check it out at www.ubuntuhcl.org.
The site's been around for a while, but it looks now like it's finally taking off. The reviews we have received only for April 2nd and 3rd (only half of the day of the 3rd, I'm writing this at noon) account for almost a quarter of the site's total reviews.
