Now Tamar, Barry, Matt and I have the task of reviewing all the entries, and choosing a winner. Sorry to say, but this may take most of the week (LOTS of entries!). I plan on reporting next Monday who the lucky winner of the Google Fridge is.
I also plan on compiling a post on the impact this contest had on my site, complete with all the important statistics, insights, and lessons learned. For now, here’s a sneak peak:
My blog was just over a month old when the contest began, and was averaging 335 pageviews/day and 79 User Sessions. During the contest, the average daily pageviews rocketed to 4,471, and daily user sessions jumped to 1,174, an increase of almost 1,500%!
Lots of other cool stats to share, including the launch of a press release, which played a key part in the traffic, in addition to the social piece. Look for it soon.
Thanks for all the support, and check back in a week for the winner.

it’s normal that your traffic datas hype up, everybody want to win the fridge
but the idea was cool and why are different fridges in Europe and American?

damn! 335 views a day? to begin with? holy cow. I need to take notes!
would also be interesting to see what your traffic looks like a month later, three months later, six months out and a year out. but I’m also a nosy asshole, so there you go. =)
Well deserved, Dan. That’s some spiffy schwag you’re giving away!
Hopefully you can get that fridge shipped to me soon, I just got my wisdom teeth ripped out of my head and I could use some cold ones.
Don`t forget my offer while reviewing the entries…
