sorry mate.Didn't mean to be negative.
If you are interested then the chief value of press is for the site people to show to others and go "look! we're making an impact." A mention on memepool is something that actually gets a few hits. (9000, about the same as a mention on MSN, stat fans.)

It seems thata site can start picking up serious traffic when it gets spotted by a big weblog.
The bloggers all seem to read each others sites, so when it appears on one, it often starts popping up on others.
I made a joke geocities site last year, which turned up on blort, then started getting links from other logs (I guess that's what you mean with Memepool).
I never did anything else with the site, so it didn't get any repeat hits, but if it's a sticky site like this (i.e. with dynamic content) the number of hits generated by these links will only increase.
I got 30,000 in a month on mine, on just a stupid 2 page joke.

Or other sites like g256 (general hardware type news site).
