    Hi ,

    I have a few websites on a shared webhosting , on 27 march I was out of bandwidth and wasn't able to upgrade account as they don't accept CC anymore and I don't have Paypal . So I had to wait until 1 april , before 27 I got 200/day on one website and 350-400/day on another website .
    Today I checked stats and on first I had 767 and on second 1502 visitors !

    It was a 1st april bonus from google ?

    SP,

    Check your log files and make sure that someone is not scraping your site.

    If your getting an excessive number of visits from the same IP use .htaccess to ban them or visits from the UA string (if it's using something other than a normal browser UA).
