Alek asked for some Digg referrer statistics, so I analyzed 8 weeks of Google Blogoscoped logs from late May to June. These are the top 10 pages, just counting people visiting from Digg (excluding searches done at Digg):

**For places 2 and 7 I wished the post wouldn't have ended up on the Digg frontpage as the source of the story was outside this blog. |
nice meta set.. any compares with Slashdot ? |
I have some data at the URL below from a few years back – ballpark number of /. visitors was about 100,000. I also present data from other sites. I have been on the front page of DIGG twice in late 2005 and had just over 15,000 visitors each time. I was hoping that perhaps Philipp's data might be useable to do a trend anaysis – i.e. is DIGG getting bigger, and if so, how much ... at least in terms of inbound traffic. But time of day, day of week, topic of post, duration on front page, etc. probably make this very, very difficult to do.
