What is gmodules.com? And How is Google Using them?

We had a huge influx of traffic this weekend and in the stats I'm seeing a ton of these 104.gmodules.com, 111.gmodules.com, 121.gmodules.com as sources of traffic.

My guess is this is Google's way of serving cached results or something when there's a huge influx of searches for something specific?

Any ideas???

 

Wow, not a single reply to this?

It shows up in google analytics as a traffic source when you get a huge hit of traffic, like a pop story on digg or something.

 

gmodules are the bits you can add to your personlised google page - these kind of things - http://www.google.com/ig/directory?synd=open
There are digg modules - http://www.google.com/ig/directory?synd=open&q=digg&btnG=Search+Google+Gadgets
and just general 'search' modules too.

 

Awesome, that makes perfect sense that the source is showing as that then.

Thanks for the answer!
