internet - Surging traffic on my weblog

The first two months of this year, this weblog passed twice the threshold of 10,000 visitors, a record. But now March still has more than ten days to go, and I have passed the 10,000 visitors, while the daily average pendels between 500 and 700 in the past few weeks.
The rise is symbolic for the growing number of webloggers in China. The counter at cnblog.org is close to 700,000, but this is an automated feature, my estimation would be close to one million. Also at Sinoplice, the overview of English language weblogs is growing very fast, although that might also come because I have started their RSS feed to monitor the changes.
I have given up linking to all weblogs I can get my hands on, I only pick the more interesting ones, otherwise I would have to hire people to maintain my weblog.
