    Well a little while ago - I ripped a controversial pic from celebjihad & now the little monkey is going berserk in Asia... I have no idea where the direct traffic is coming from, but I looked in Analytics and the traffic is authentic and there's over 300 online... for some reason it's sending/receiving massive hits from Asia...

    I can't put the picture up or the page as it's a little rude LoL...

    No real point to this post, it's just a surprise burst of traffic & it strengthens my case, just work on your own site and keep at it, one day you'll be tripping over yourself and wondering - where the hell did I go right...

    Do you know it's been by complete accident, generally it's a quiet time of the day, America's asleep and that's usually where all my traffic comes from... say about 350 visitors an hour is average for that time.

    I seen my stats rocket all of a sudden - so I checked my stats in histats and then analytics and both were reporting a shit load of direct traffic from Seoul of all places, you can see them live now: http://www.histats.com/viewstats/?sid=1710267&act=18 - not as many - but it's still above average for the site.

    They come from a direct source, I found the link on a couple of pages in a foreign language - but it doesn't amount to the huge traffic surge, so I can't track visitors and nor could analytics.

    The content is a fake photo of Emma Watson at a lesbian bar - "Emma watson fakes" - the search term - are also sending a lot of traffic from Google... but that's probably cos I am ranking higher in search engines for that term all of a sudden. "emma watson fake nude" I am on the second page in Google (on my results anyway) - tomoz I will work on getting that to the first page and see what happens.

    That must be one hell of a controversial picture. You probably can't post it here can you? I'm really curious now.

    I have two versions, an adult one and a censored one, the adult one is getting the traffic and this one is censored - I liked this photo because of the text on the doors: http://eyesonstars.com/emma-watson-boobs-at-lesbian-bar-photo/
