The Long Tail of Referrers

Long tails are everywhere. After only about 3 weeks of the public beta, our referring sites have taken the shape of a long tail. A relatively few sites are our "hits", but we have 136 sites already referring traffic to us. And this is without a press release or syndicated article. This is totally word-of-mouth and search hits. In all fairness, SEO-Scoop received a lot of traffic through the new Netscape site, when HitTail ended up on its homepage on the first day of THEIR beta.
