Rejected for Launch Pad 2007 Conference: does traffic matter?

I just found out we were rejected for the Launchpad 2007 Conference. Darn.

One wonders, though: did traffic weigh into the decision? I'm curious, largely because this month, we're forecasting over 1 million visitors, and still, no paid advertising :)

Perhaps it's my ego talking, but I find it hard to believe that we didn't have the highest amount of traffic of any company applying that didn't have outside funding.

Oh, well. We'll find out the final list of companies in a week or two, and then I can at least smile when I see if FunAdvice is bigger than all of them :)
