    I get high direct traffic once in a while from new search engines. The ones that show a visual of your page tend to use a bot that runs the javascript on your page and as a result trigger your analytics code. The bounce rate from that traffic is 100%. You can usually track it down by looking at their "Network Location" in analytics.

    Direct traffic could be anything from your site going viral , return visitors from bookmarks or a tracking problem ?

    Not sure how you would find out though :eek:
