It looks like the submitter added a & to the end of the URL. This is generally considered to be cheating. I guess it worked out this time though... There are probably a few articles out there that will tell you the best time to submit a link. If you're really worried about getting karma/clicks, you should consult one of them.

No no, I don't care about karma, just discovered the site recently and wanted to learn how it works. Exposure on the other hand is always a nice thing. I am actually really glad to the submitter since this generated a nice discussion in the blog itself and made me fix a few things I was wrong about.
