I'm not certain this is the right forum, so apologies if not. I recently bought an arcade site, www.zemdo.com . It gets VERY random traffic, and none of it from referrers - it all seems to be direct. It goes from 10 uniques to 60 quite often. However, yesterday it hit 200 ... and today it's exceeded that already. And page views are rocketing, over 1500 impressions on adsense today (not to mention over 50 clicks). Just checked Analytics and it's all from South Africa - Johannesburg to be precise. So CPC is very low. Just wondering whether anyone else had had such random traffic? Wish I knew why it was happening, but hey, I'm not complaining.
Someone pasted your URL in a very active forum without http:// and are talking about you? As the post gets replied to it goes back to the top, which in turn gives you the spike in traffic??
Must be. Site had over 3k impressions yesterday and 179 clicks! Already over 800 impressions today. I guess I'll just enjoy it while it lasts =0)
You should make sure the traffic is not proxy traffic, or you could get your google account closed really fast, try to search at google for some of the ip's and check if they appear on a proxy list. If they do , you should redirect that traffic faster then....
