    I mean, I'm thrilled and all, but isn't it a bit odd that today, suddenly, out of the blue, 159 people would decide to read a hub about translations of Petrarch?

    WTF?

    Somebody stumbled it? Look at your stats and check where traffic is coming from smile

      Oh!  I never thought of that. . . yep, it was stumbled.  cool.  I'm still mystified that folk want to read obscure translations of an obscure sonnet on an obscure Sunday. . . . 
      But thanks for the tip!

    I had that happen once on something obscure---
    Misha, I can't remember-- do we have to do something to post on stumbleupon? I think I did something once, but it never halped, except maybe for that once.  Is it worth the time?

      I'm guessing it must be worth the time, although I don't know how this got stumbled upon

        Well, depending on what you want smile
        If you want numbers that will push your hubscore, su is great. If you want genuine readers - hardly any, but possible. If you want clicks on the ads - no. If you want backlinks - yes.

        Pick your preference smile

        Oh, and to get there you need either to have somebody who will stumble your post, or to do this yourself.

    I've noticed you at 100 several times lately.  You must be doing everything right, Teresa!  Misha is right, you deserve it!!

      Well Thanks!  I just hadn't realized Petrarch was such a big hit -- maybe I'll do a hub on Cardinal Bembo next!

      I had to go back to the photo, as a friend was visiting HubPages, and she doesn't know me by the name T. McGurk, so said she couldn't find me anywhere!

    stumble is random - you get nothing for days, then 400 peeps pile in within an hour, then nothing again. Still quite nice with the old arrows (-:

    Stumbling's easy, just register or login, and get the Firefox toobar, and press the thumbs up button for stuff you like.

      I had forgotten about the toolbar (I was getting too many toolbars at the top of my browser, so I hid some of them) Ha!  just stumbled Katherine Swynford!

    And I posted yer link to this hub on piratesurfing.com.  When an article gets hot and starts to get lots of traffic, they call it pillaging.  Hope you get pillaged real soon!

    Wow -- that's a new one, I'd never heard of piratesurfing.com.  Just checked out their website, but it all looks very complicated
