I think we generally have two types of traffic to TMS, those coming to vote and those coming to look for a MUD. We get a lot of traffic from Google and the social networks. Not so much from Yahoo (even accounting for their lower share of the search market), but I've noticed Yahoo "Slurp" is all over the new forums so maybe that will improve over time.

I think most MUDs don't particularly encourage their players to click the "out" links as that doesn't help their ranking so those "out" clicks are coming from somewhere. I've also noticed over time that when a MUD appears on the front page that isn't usually there, it's "out" number will be very high compared to the rest of the MUDs, so a good number of people are paying attention.
