The result of a referral from brothers-brick.com !
So I was flying back from the US today and when I arrived in Amsterdam I was checking my RSS feeds and noticed that I'd got a mention on brothers-brick.com for my Lego Dr Who photos. As a result, even at midday European time I was already showing a lot more views than I would normally get in a day, then when the US woke up the traffic just rocketed.
So the above is the graph from my Flickr stats taken at 23:59:59 this evening showing just how much of an impact that blog posting has made since I normally get ~100-150 views a day (then maybe a couple of hundred more on the days I upload stuff that my friends and family will look at).
I uploaded the BrickCon photos on Thursday and posted a few in the BrickCon and Lego pools which pulled in 1,773 views for the day. This itself was about 5-6x what I would normally expect after uploading some photos and the highest daily total I'd ever had. Then as you can see from the graph above, that was totally eclipsed by today's 12,031 views in 24 hours! So over 5% of my total Flickr traffic ever, occurring in one day! I hate to think what would happen if it was on something like Boing Boing, Gizmodo or Slashdot!
Thanks to everyone that's viewed and commented, I was simply piggy-backing on the really creative work done by some ridiculously talented builders!
[The full resolution version is probably easier to read. A few screenshots were combined together to show the mouse-overs for different date in case you're wondering]
