We wrote a blog post on great places to get free stock photos and shared it on StumbleUpon. We ended up getting 17,000 visits that day and it just went crazy somehow, even though our domain rank was non-existent. We were getting 10,000+ visits for about a week because of that blog post.

After the dust settled a bit on that post we were getting over 1,000 visits a day (still a lot from StumbleUpon) and now we're creeping over over 2,000 a day and slowly climbing.

Obviously, a lot of that traffic was not highly targeted but it still gave us a huge boost and our Google rankings have shot up lately. We're now on Page 3/4 for "Bootstrap themes" and getting more organic traffic which is great.
