Reddit traffic doubles in less than a year, to 2 billion monthly pageviews
Whatever you think of @reddit's march towards decline...this was my favorite part of the blog post...and something I hope rings with other popular sites:Here’s a list of things we don’t (and won’t) do for traffic:We don't get traffic through ads.We don’t participate in any traffic trading.We don’t email our users (unless they choose to enter an 
email and then forget their password).We don’t harass users to sign up.We don’t harass users to invite their friends.We don’t pester you to download our app.We don’t use slideshows and other pageview gimmicks.We don't know anything about SEO.We don't integrate with Facebook.We don't even link to our Facebook or twitter accounts.
