Anyone seen this before. Ive had the www- typo for 1 month doing 1-2 hits per day, but suddenly yesterday traffic was 200 and over 500 today.... Whats happening ? Its not bot traffic cause CTR is pretty good.
Is this through AdWords campaigns? I heard a while ago that people were buying these types of domains to show up in the URL section of an AdWords ad. Is that where you've seen the traffic boost, or is this organic traffic? Have you looked to see where this new traffic is coming from? Perhaps you've just been indexed by one of the SE's, or perhaps you've just gained a link from somewhere. I had this once on one of my domains, and when I checked there was only one new referrer, but it was some kind of click bot. No idea why someone would do that, only to explod my traffic. It was refreshing about every second, so my traffic stats went through the roof.
I had a similar experience with one of my typo domains. It turned out that a rather large website had placed a link on their index page to the non-typo site domain but had made the typo error and typed in my typo domain for their link. They caught it after a few days but the traffic was pretty high while it lasted.
