( Sorry I didnt know where to post this

)

OK I have had a big increase in traffic and I cant see why

, its not bothering me if it stays like this lol but it is a big increase

as you can see, but I looked at the refer links and cant see anything also keywords look right the only thing that looks funny is the

Code:

Origin                       Pages   Percent   Hits    Percent 
Direct address / Bookmarks = 16034 / 94.2% / 18169 / 94.5%

do you think it could be that?

also has this ever happend to you lot

I have just hit 600 hits today, this is strange

does anyone have any thoughts on what it could be as it is a very big increase for me not to be able to see anything on my stats :s

Why the frowns? Isn't this a good thing..?

MadKad · 08-14-2006, 03:33 PM

it is a good thing, but with it going up so fast it looks funny and could be something unwanted also if its going to stay then its good but if its going to drop then it doesnt look good as I cant find where its coming from.

MadKad · 08-14-2006, 04:28 PM

MadKad · 08-14-2006, 04:46 PM

ok thanks Ferre

Maybe a newspaper or magazine which would result in direct hits rather then from a site.

MadKad · 08-14-2006, 07:00 PM

yer your right it could be, but hits have to come from somewhere, so wouldnt these show up in the stats? or would they be classed as a bookmarked hit, cos they typed it in the browser.

Kalina · 08-14-2006, 07:35 PM

Did you look at the latest visitors stats too? (if you have cpanel)

MadKad · 08-14-2006, 07:50 PM

I have cpanel, I havent looked at that as its poo and I found it wrong but I will check

soniqhost.com · 08-14-2006, 08:04 PM

Since they are typed into the browser, they would be considered bookmarks/direct hits and not show up in your refer list

MadKad · 08-16-2006, 02:33 AM

Well its just going higher and higher think its going to go past 700 easy today it was very close yesterday.

I really cant see any reason for this, so I will just see how it goes and hope it stays that way. thanks every one for giving me some ideas

could be someone doing something automated. do you not like google analytics?

MadKad · 08-16-2006, 04:42 AM

google analytics, isnt trusted by me and many SEO people, the less google know the better

but yes I also thought it could be someone doing something automated, but if it was a traffic thing I would see ferer links and I dont :S

My brothers website has seen a greater increase using AW around the same period but cant figure out where the traffic is from. Google Analytics and AdSense doesnâ€™t see the increase. This is weird. Who are hosted with?

MadKad · 08-16-2006, 05:32 AM

I am with 1&1 my AdSense also doesnt pick it up, but the clicks do seem to have increased :S

Johan007 · 08-16-2006, 05:40 AM

No idea. Its eating my brother bandwidth from 300 visitors a day to 3000. No images are doing taken from the server so no one is hot linking. Maybe it’s a new spider because it is happening the same time.
