Although that question ranks hugely in terms of server fault traffic, it doesn't even come close to some of the insane levels of popularity that stack overflow questions get (4,350 upvotes, 280kviews anyone?).
One of the things us mods have asked for over on meta.stackoverflow.com is to ask for the ability to see referral stats and a breakdown of traffic for individual questions (at the moment we can only see it site wide). Until something like that is implemented, there's not much to dissect unfortunately.
