Just a quick note about the site and the number of visitors
we usually get.On a good day it's usually 1000+.
we usually get.On a good day it's usually 1000+.
But over the past week or so it's been much higher than that.
Today so far it's up to 12,000+ already.
The last few days has seen numbers of 6-7 and up to 10,000 visitors.
Very strange,either somebody is putting our name out there
or the counter's broken!
I guess the moral of the story is the less you post
the more visits to the site!!
Anyway...Enjoy.
A dramatic spike in traffic like that is most likely down to non-human visitors; probably bots, Ai data scraping or the like. Make sure all the site's safety features are switched on & bang up to date, just to be on the cautious side.
ReplyDeleteHad a quick read up about it and looks like that is the most likely cause.
DeleteSeemingly it will calm down on its own so,hopefully temporary.
It was a little strange that there were no posts that had new massive views.
Anyway cheers for the info.
No problem smoker, i'm glad that info proved to be of some use to you.
DeleteAt least it didn't 'cause the site any problems, as i've heard from some forum mods that such events have sometimes overload their servers & brought sites temporarily down.
I still prefer Jimbo's theory that "bots like music" though. :)
Keep up the great work fellas,

Either bots or Classic Rick's awesome posts are bringing more people in. Maybe the bots like music? Maybe a mix of both. The write ups and info for the boots are fun to read.
ReplyDeleteYep,maybe.
DeleteI'm pulling for the fact that word is getting out, cuz you're site is that good! : )
