If you know Slashdot, then you already know what is Slashdot effect.

The Slashdot Effect is the sudden, relatively temporary surge in traffic to a Web site that occurs when a high-traffic Web site or other source posts a story that refers visitors to another Web site.

Almost the same thing happened to my popular article on Optimizing Mozilla Firebird. It has been featured in many weblogs including “dive into mark” and “Jeremy Zawodny’s blog“.
The spikes in my traffic graphs shows the effect.

I wish I had some banners in my blog ;-)
