Click on the &#8220;Traffic Stats&#8221; &amp; then &#8220;Traffic Rank&#8221; tabs.  As of right now, The site is ranked 39,570 out of all the sites in the world for today&#8217;s traffic stats.  As time goes on the 1 month &amp; 3 month numbers will catch up, but since the site didn&#8217;t exist 1 month ago&#8230; they can&#8217;t properly rank it.</p><p>In addition, I&#8217;ve picked up a TON of new inbound links, people Tweeting about the site launch &amp; talking about it on FaceBook. If you go over and sign up, you can have this same exact thing happening on your own website.  That&#8217;s why I launched ContestBurner. A viral marketing contest is an extremely affordable way to virally increase website traffic. Viral advertising campaigns can cost tens of thousands of dollars, but with ContestBurner all you need are prizes and my  WordPress plugin.
