Posted on PH 2 weeks ago. No attention. Magically, the listing is live again and on the first page?

I'm seriously confused--has this happened to anyone else?

2 weeks ago I posted one of my products to Product Hunt without really any prep. It got 3 upvotes. Haha, but I wasn't surprised as I just sort of posted it on a whim (I understand that is not the proper strategy, but I was just curious).

But to my surprise, this morning, I woke up to it having 40+ (now 50+) upvotes, being on the front page of PH and showing me "Launch Day" statistics as if it went live today?

The funny thing is, this tool is just a simple listener to see when you get your first mention from a site so you can react to unexpected sources of traffic. So in that way, it worked!
