Media coverage - ie the Gulf News article that John posted - can give a noticeable traffic spike to your blog (John and Adnan should also have seen one on their blogs):
But more excitingly, this place got its first mention!
"An enhanced sense of community is apparent in new sites such as UAE community blog that combine contributions from several bloggers."
It doesn't seem to have affected traffic here, which is quite steady and healthy. You can see the typical "weekend dip" pattern - clearly most people log on from their office!
Feel free to dig around the stats to see who's coming here. You can also add a Sitemeter to your own blog, it's free, and easy because they have an auto-install feature for certain blog hosts, including Blogger/Blogspot.

Congratulations to everyone - it's nice to see traffic increase. Up to a certain point that is, when bandwidth runs out ;-)
My increase was modest. I expect more via Secret Dubai diarys when folks around the globe see her mentioned in today's New York Times!!
Dubai Opens Door Wide to News Media, but Journalists Note a Catch - New York Times
I wondered about bandwidth - but I have a feeling that blogspot is unlimited.
What will suffer is the photos - most free upload services are capped, so after a while visitors see little red Xs and ?s.
