I have two questions and a minor bug report for you:
1) It seems you were tracking your Page Rank closely in this time period. Can you quantify the relationship between PR and actual rank or organic search traffic on your site? (I.e., do you know and can you share stats like "At PR N I had X organic search visitors per month"?). This will be obviously be different from site to site (as it depends on query frequency) but these would be interesting data to see.
2) I didn't take the time to watch the video, but you can briefly explain what WhySpamMe is? Is this essentially mailinator except with forwarding to your actual email address? (That's not a knock on WhySpamMe, I'm just trying to understand it. I actually think that's an interesting twist.)
3) Just FYI, I noticed that on an earlier post on your blog (http://blog.whyspam.me/index.php/2010/02/13/whyspam-me-suppo...) you misspelled "Haiti" as "Hati" a couple of times. For that matter, I think "Unicef" should be "UNICEF" (all caps), as it is an acronym. That's the way they seem to spell it officially (although their logo is all lower case, so go figure.)
1) I'm planning another article later with some stats and some notes on usability (specifically about how adding the video you didn't watch lead to a huge increase in conversions).
2) I don't like comparing services to other services "the facebook of dog kennels!" but yes we act much like mailinator though we forward the emails to your actual email account. This is much more convenient IMHO and since the email accounts never expire you can use it for services you actually care about such as amazon.com etc.
What mailinator and the others don't do is keep track of which websites send you unsolicited spam, or sell your info. We keep track of this and publish it to http://whyspam.me/websites.
3) Thanks, there's a reason I became an engineer and not an english major ^_^ I'll fix the spelling as soon as i get a chance.
