Posted this in traffic analysis but don't get any reply, therefore I am poting it in Yahoo as I feel this is the next most appropriate section. On this particular site I normally get around 600 - 900 visitors a day but yesterday I got about 4000. For some reason, according to Statcounter, I am getting traffic for this particular keyword from Yahoo. Although I am No.1 for this keyword (it gets around 170 searches a day according to Overture), I got 900 visitors in 3 hours. I decided to take the page off the server because there was no way that could be correct. According to Statcounter, I was getting nearly all my traffic for this keyword whereas normally I get traffic for all sorts of keywords. I looked into my Cpanel and there are tons of referrers from Yahoo for this particular keyword as well (so both Statcounter and cpanel stats matched). Finally, when I decided to take the page off the server I stareted getting traffic from some ofthe other keywords, but still i am not getting traffic from some of the other main keywords in both Yahoo and Google. I checked my keywords in Yahoo and Google datacentres and the were the smae as before. I also checked the pages to make sure the site wasn't down. How can you explain this? How can keywords that are quite popular and ranked as they were suddenly stop sending traffic and one kwyord keeps sending traffic at a rate of 5-6 uniques a minute even though it isn't hugely popular? The traffic I was getting from this was from Yahoo from unique IP's.
