I checked google analytics for one of my site. In that I see one day there is sudden increase in traffic (only one day). I want to know how this happen, what is the reason behind this? In analytics where to go to check about this.
Check your traffic sources. If there is an increase in referring traffic, then you should try and promote your site/blog more on referring site/s If its from google, check what keywords gave you that boost and optimise a few pages for that keyword/s..
check your traffic sources, see where you got traffic from referral sites, direct or through keyword...and promote according to that..but organic traffic is best for any site..
Analyse carefully your analytic results for your sites. Also check from which referring sites or what is the exactly source of traffic. Then use those sites for SEO of your site.
It's a direct traffic increased more.... If yes, don't beleive it's fake and it will rectify within 3 days.
This happened with me & after analyzing more I did found out that one of my post was virally spread on facebook & I got all the traffic from Facebook. That happened just for 1 day.
Use older version of analytics Click on -> Traffic Sources -> All Traffic sources There you will see column for no. of visits you you got from different sources, check from where you got high visit There select landing page / keyword / source from the drop-down option "None", you will see how exactly you got this visit and for which page
Agree to them. There's a feature in analytics for you to trace you traffic sources in a given time. You can select which day (or even days/weeks/months) you'd like to track the visits, and the tool will give you list of sites, & referrals and even key terms where your traffic came from
this is my opinion that increasing the traffic of website is totally depend on your site back-link. If i am right then same thing happen with you.
