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.
