My site has been up for about 2 years now and suddenly awstats is showing my unique visitors shot up 50-70% for 15 days then went back to normal. Can anyone explain how this is possible? or was it a glitch?

Something could of been indexed in google as a top 10 or something..

Yeah, I had an article top CNN.com, news.com, and dtv.gov...got a nice boost from that for 2 days (strange considering my niche'), but I have had a steady rise since Nov.
This month is starting out nice.:)
You must have ranked well for something and didn't know it, like I did.

I actually just did a check, and I am now listed on page one twice, (my site, and the Digg link!}, I think maybe I may get another day out of it...woo-hoo!
Just dumb luck, I guess.

Some times the increased traffic may be from stumble or digg :)

You can try checking the referrer logs and see where the traffic was coming from.

Yes, a good idea.

i had a sudden boost in hits, turned out it was due to a script i'd released making it onto some french forum which linked to me. not bad :D
