Who knew that a simple comment could drive site traffic so high?
The other day I commented on the blog Student Scrooge. The post was in regards to tipping and the practices used by servers to increase their tips. I don't comment a lot but this was one post I felt I had the knowledge with which to back up my comment. What I didn't know was that this post would be used by Karen Datko on MSN Money in her post dated October 21st. Or that she would choose my comment to be included as part of her post.
The lesson? Words are forever. You never know how they will be used, good or bad, so think about what you say (or write) before it comes out of your mouth.
While I'm tickled to be included in this article, I'm also happy that what I wrote was not something that could come back to haunt me. Not to mention that I enjoy looking at my site meter to see where all of these visitors to my little site are from.

Crazy, isn't it? It's been quite a boost for me, too.
I appreciated you stopping by and commenting - drop by again in the future.

I know what you mean, that's how I got here.
I once had a post quoted by politico, which was then quoted by CBS. I intentionally don't have a sitemeter but I got a lot of new blog traffic not long thereafter.
