Okay all you doubters, here is Matt Cutts posing with the rest of the Globe Runner team.

Bet you didn’t think we could pull all these illustrious names to our humble agency. Fellow newcomer Darth Vader summed up this disappointment best: ‘I find your lack of faith disturbing’.

Seriously, we had no idea that Matt Cutts was a worldwide celebrity — until our site crashed on Saturday. Here’s a three-day snapshot of the traffic spawned by the infamous blog post which, by the way, was written by Bill Hartzer:

After we picked ourselves up off the floor seeing the 10K+ visits to a single blog post, we ran to check out where all this traffic was coming from. Based on that one blog post, here is a list of Matt Cutts’ top 10 fan bases worldwide:

1. United States
2. United Kingdom
3. Germany
4. France
5. India
6. Japan
7. Canada
8. Australia
9. Netherlands
10. Sweden

Twitter was the foremost social media contributor to this deluge of visitors at 25%.

Not everyone was impressed with our miraculous hiring of Matt Cutts. There was the ritual knocking of Texas:

Now now Gabriella, Texas happens to have great steaks and no income tax.

Blackhatters were divided. Some thought it was a good stunt.

Others: Nope.

Matt’s German admirers raised an eyebrow, but it was all good-natured.

Our Japanese friends, on the other hand, were horrified. Matt, you’ll have to buy a round of sake the next time you’re in Tokyo.

Perhaps two of the best comments came from Jill in one forum:

Jill could do with a cookie, don’t you think?

If you see the humor in this as much as we do, we’ll buy you a drink the next time you’re in Dallas. Thanks for joining what has been a mighty entertaining conversation (we’ve collected some of the best comments on Storify).
