On this past Earth Day, my Hub <URL snipped> went totally viral with over 8000 hits the first day, 6000 the next and gradually dwindling down to 1000 huts a day by the end of the week.
I sold over 100 of the dual flush retrofit kits on Amazon, which from my estimate will save over 54,000 gallons of water in a year. It's nice to make a few bucks but it feels even better to help make a difference to the environment by writing about a product that I know first hand saves tons of water. Thanks Hubpages for the great site and the opportunity for this kind of thing to happen. Hopefully it will again, but if it never does it was very fun while it lasted.

Hey congrats doodlebugs. Now, I've got to go over and read and rate it.
Congratulations on the traffic, that is not exactly what viral marketting is though
Viral marketting is when you post something like a video or a game with your website watermarked on it, which ends up on a load of websites and being sent to everyone via e-mail.
It is still a really great achievemnt though, and I would strongly advise you to make the most of the opportunity, create a few more in linking hubs to it, think of a few related products and link out to them, and figure out as many ways as possible to make it easy for your traffic to spend money!
Congrats,doodlebug! Good info to save water and money with water bills going up. I just fanned ya! You only need 1 or 2 more followers to hit the 300 milestone.

Happy days! The last couple of days one of my articles went viral. It must be from the news feed.

I was really in need of a good distraction when I stopped by HP this afternoon to check-in. I checked my stats and saw an unbelievable number under "1 DAY." It is in the thousands. My recipe article on shrimp has gone viral and I have no idea why. Apparently, it's coming from msn dot com....

I am not posting this to be congratulated since I have done nothing unusual to deserve this. It's pure chance. The reason I mention it is twofold:1. To boost morale during these low earning times2. To prove that an article doesn't necessarily need to be on a network site to be successfulOne of my...

Sorry to be conceited, but I have to take this opportunity to mention my 5th anniversary on HubPages. HubPages has been a fantastic opportunity for me to learn from others and teach what I know. I started at the beginning of my college career, and it's become a sizeable part of my life. I recommend...
