Averaging 75-100 visits/day.
@ 1:40PM, I have 2,200 visits for the day.
37 "Ups" so far, my first 14 karma points. Awesome. Of course a majority of the comments on reddit are negative, but I expect that from digg/reddit. Some good defenses by other users though. I thoroughly enjoyed this gem:
By karatechops:
Wow, is it really necessary to write an article about that? Shouldn't that be common knowledge as to how to save money?
By ralphwiggum:
Seriously? You seriously just wrote that? Do you not live in the US? Because we're all in debt. On average, we've got 8K in CC debt and over half the women here don't have $500 in a savings account.
On the other hand, I guess it didn't need to be written because the people who need to understand the concept won't read it. They're too busy shopping.
It probably should have been made into a movie about a girl with cancer and maybe a puppy or a zebra who go on a journey together to learn how to save money. And at the end, she and the zebra meet a boy, fall in love, she dies and we all have a good cry. The zebra and boy honor her memory by starting a foundation for financial success among women between the ages of 25-50 who are suffering from cancer and we learn how to save money.That truly made me laugh. Awesome.
Just thought I'd share... first time I've had any kind of remote success with reddit (edit: or any other social bookmarking site). Thankfully I implemented a plugin for some of the social bookmarking sites yesterday, as well as tweaked the post code to put up a couple of links for RSS/e-mail subscription with each post. It'll be interesting to see if I gain any readers from this.

Congrat, I've heard a lot of people recently getting good traffic from Reddit.
They apparently changed their alogirthms recently making it easier to get the homepage from the sub-reddits.
One my blog posts got the digg homepage recently I surprised at the traffic I got -- about 20K in the first 5 hours.

I'm guessing I'm not getting as much traffic because:
a. it isn't a technical post -- it's about finance, so limited audience
b. it didn't reach the top 10, although it did hit #12 -- just not at what I gauge as a "prime time" (early morning, evenings, etc.)But! I have received more than 4,200 visitors today which was absolutely thrilling. And I got 68+/- thumbs up, so I'll take it.

Don't get me wrong you're doing great!
Its also a difference between digg and reddit, which is still playing catchup.
With digg it really depends now on who submits your post, and reddit doesn't seem to matter as much.

Andddd now GoDaddy seems to have disabled my database connections. Wait time? 26 minutes. Great.

Nice one Kevin.
So far I've not really had any success with Reddit (probably due to my blogging niche).
The other day though, I got Del.icio'd and Stumbled which brought in around 6k uniques. Annoying thing, I managed to get the post submitted to Digg by a "power-user" and it got 117 Diggs before getting buried...massively gay.
I'm going to start being more active on StumbleUpon - I seem to be getting nice traffic flows from there daily.
