Started my blog 4 days back (16th Jan to be exact)! 16th Jan - First day (according to google analytics) - I had 50 visits 17th Jan - 95 visits 18th Jan - 190 visits 19th Jan - 191 visits and 20th Jan = 798 visits? I was like what happened! I checked and it showed "stumbleupon.com (referral) 655 " funny thing is, I don't remember advertising or stumble sharing any website... Question is, I'm a bit scared! is this traffic fake? because there were only 3 clicks on google ads.. and I just want to confirm if this is anything unusual ? Should I email google?
stumbleupon.com - pretty typical, this happens to my sites once in awhile, I get a huge amount of traffic one or two days from them, then drop off to zilch for weeks.
Stumbleupon, digg traffic is fine. should be all good. I get traffic like that. We all do. Heaps one day little the next. But myns from search engines.
social bookmarking sites are showing great traffic but stumble traffic looks like a bit ghost traffic
It can be frustrating because of how inconsistent it is. It would make googles job a lot more harder i think.
