Silk Road start up

Im just curious as to how the silk road got so popular since it was the first of its kind. Was it just spread by word of mouth the same goes for current markets how do they get to the point where they have enough traffic and listing to make it on the marketplace list.

The original Silk Road rose in popularity and reached mainstream consciousness after a writer for I believe it was The Guardian did a story on it. That's how I heard about it.
