Rich McIver of Business Intelligence Lowdown sent me a pointer to a recent post on BIL listing their top 10 largest databases. In learning a little more about this blog, I clicked over to their site stats. They proved to be very interesting. It appears that BIL has had a moderate to low amount of traffic until recently. However, in the past few weeks, they have posted top 10 lists on a number of topics. Each time they've done this, they have managed to attract a huge amount of traffic:
I notice also that they include a Digg button right at the start of each post. Using Google's blogsearch to search over this site, it looks like these are the first instances of top 10 lists on this blog (though I'm not sure exactly how far back Google's blogsearch goes).
When I create my top 10 list of top 10 listers, I'll certainly include BIL!
