We here at BuzzFeed have a confession to make. When we launched the Viral Prediction Game a few weeks ago some of us were using our cool internal stats tools to cheat. After reprimanding those responsible we thought: what if we gave everyone a little peak into how our viral tracking works? Well, now you can cheat too! Homepage posts with enough traffic will have a “View More Stats” button. Click it to see how much viral traffic it has, a graph of the Viral Lift for the last 3 days, and a few of the top referrers. You can't tell for sure if it's going to go viral, of course, but you can see if it's getting any traction. It's not really cheating if everyone's doing it, right? View Image ›
