I made this working < 2 days spread over a few weeks.<p><a href="http://howfastisthenbn.com.au/" rel="nofollow">http://howfastisthenbn.com.au/</a><p>It's a comparison of the broadband policies of Australia's two opposing political parties.<p>I posted it on the /r/Australia subreddit at ~4pm on a Tuesday and tweeted about it. 1.5 hours later the Minister of Communications and Broadband had retweeted it and then 30 minutes later the Prime Minister retweeted it.<p>Received 64k uniques between 4pm and 12am first day. 73k the next day after it was front-paged on the Sydney Morning Herald and news.com.au websites. Since launch I've had about ~186,989 uniques. Average time on site is 2:17.<p>At the top of the page are social sharing buttons for Facebook, Twitter, G+, and LinkedIn. The explosive growth definitely came from Facebook likes (58k) likes.<p>Lessons learned: NEVER make a website that doesn't have prominent social media buttons, and make sure your Twitter button has some worthwhile default tweet content and a #hashtag or two.<p>It was hosted as a Github page with Cloudflare in front.
