Hard to be a compelling presence if your public image is an aging 8x10. Wouldn’t Finke have trouble hosting a conference, considering that she sees less daylight than Dracula?

As for striking a deal with Drudge, without asking he gave us the "TV Ratings" link over a year ago, which has been a very stable and steady referrer of traffic. But as for the link to the Beck post, if you pull up our data in Quantcast you will see that spike in the default view easily enough, it is so big it makes the scale of that chart unreadable for any other purpose, but you'll see the spike!

Lurker, Drudge's standard "TV Ratings" link is to our home page, but we have gotten a half dozen or so prominent links directly to a story. Only the last one didn't crash our site. We received 400k visits that day during a period when 30k was typical. ;) I envision a Washington Post inspired series of pay for access “salons”, although I think our problem would not be “conflict of interest” but simply “interest”.

I used to see it alot going into the weekend. Drudge posts cable news ratings occasionally but he doesn't link it to anybody. Maybe you guys can strike up a deal with him to have him post ratings once a week and have it linked to your site. I think I saw Drudge link one of your Beck ratings post. Did you guys get a massive spike that day? Does Drudge still link to Finke’s BO reports? I used to see it alot going into the weekend.
