The Andrew Quah effect

Our graph got a rise out of Andrew Quah...


Shortly after the Andrew 'that's not my penis' Quah scandal broke, we noticed an unprecedented (for us) spike in our traffic on Google Analytics. It lasted 2 days and then went back to normal. 'Normal' has been a bit higher of late (roughly 150 visits per day as opposed to a previous norm of ~100), which I've put down to election traffic, but Andrew Quah and his penis sent us up to almost 300. Let it not be said that Australians don't have a healthy perverted streak.

Can't say for sure whether that's the biggest load of traffic we've ever had, as we only got Google Analytics a few months after Lara Bingle's nude photo made the news- we got linked to by a fair few sites, including Fleshbot, from which we still receive regular hits... I think it's fair to say that no-one will maintain a similar interest in Andrew Quah. Thanks to our election traffic, Lara's page (the girl is worth her weight in gold, obviously) has dropped from a shameful 17-20% of all our page views to a more respectable 10%.
