The Drudge Report has referred over 7,000 unique visitors ro SkeetobiteWeather.com in the past two hours. That's 58 people per minute clicking on a pretty non-descript link. Awesome.

FYI - over 22,000 folks worldwide either added or accessed SkeetobiteWeather via thier favorites so far this week.

S2K is our number 2 referrer (about to become number 3 though ;-) )

Skeetobite seriously rocks. It's no surprise they're starting to get wider recognition for their great work.
