Re:OT: Traffic impact by Google Personalized Homep (Score 1)

Google homepage gave some massive exposure to a few websites when it was first released, which would naturally increase traffic to them. I don't think its the same as the /. effect though. Maybe it was at first, but as they add more optional content to the Google homepage, things will sort of get lost in the crowd, so they probably won 't see the same traffic increases as at first, when there were only a few options. However, getting /.ed is like having a targeting laser pointed at your site, its a strong focus that only points to one thing at a time.
