If your URL is advertised/mentioned in a medium where
the audience is very much interested in your URL
(service/product) then then the traffic will sky
rocket)
I know that when McCain was running for the US Prez
slot his URL had a lot of traffic and at one point very
specifically when he won a key primary he was right
standing right next to his URL, as the media TV cameras
were running and his WEB master was quoted as saying a
huge increase came during that time.
From personal experience, my URL
http://www.smallbiztechnology.com has been mentioned
on the radio on a few occasions. The time it was on a
political talk show, not much increase, but the time it
was on a small business orientated type show a huge
INCREASE
Advertising is great, but unless you have sustainably
huge money - make sure it is very, very targeted.
