have you been linkie winked?
misc July 6th, 2006There is a weird web crawler going around called Linkie Winkie. It's somewhat of a mystery, but from what I gather it crawls the web looking for references to itself. If it finds it on your site, it might wink at you–which means linking to your site. This, in turn, drives traffic to your site. Very interesting.
The Linkie Winkie website says its a "social experiment". I haven't been crawled just yet. Maybe I will be. We'll see. I'll report back.

No magic yet, but a small spike in traffic coming from technorati users searching for linkie winkie.

I have no explanation for which sites it crawls. Maybe you should ask Chris and Gurtie.
