It has happened to me a couple of times when 1,000+ hits seem to come out of nowhere. A number of factors are at work: a recommendation, a Digg or two which explodes exponentially when the search engines increase your ranking, buzz on Twitter etc. On the other hand, I have often had the experience that a darn good blog post is largely ignored. Growth ultimately comes down to some hard work, persistance, and, in your case, a lot of dedication to the edu-cause. Hopefully a few more good readers have been sent your way. ‘Pleased as punch’ is a good expression for all that traffic.
