RobinL - yes I know the national press effect - my marketing strategy is "real world". I don't believe in SEM as a first strike concept.

But I could monetise slashdot traffic - not through advertising, but the nature of the site.

Let's just say a large chunk of slashdotter's would instantly start using our site - and use of the site generates money for us (although free for them). There are no adverts or affilliate links involved. Nothing is bought or sold.

Our ISP wouldn't switch us off.

What I want to try and do is make sure that the sudden load spike doesn't make the whole thing fall over.
