So this guy Neetzan Zimmerman was apparently a traffic god to Gawker http://observer.com/2014/01/neetzan-doesnt-like-to-be-called-a-machine-zimmerman-leaving-gawker/

And here he shares (sort of) his methods
http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304579404579231772007379090

This is more on the theory than the how-to although it should be useful to some of you.

Only after publicly bitching did the WSJ allow me to see that article.

That is better. The other two weren't so detailed. Certainly fascinating.

The big takeaway is to always be looking for something and have your eyes open wide enough to see it.
