normally about 12 thousand people stop by each day.... but now and then, something out there causes the number to jump, usually because of something like a car auction, or a mention on some website that gets a couple million hits a day...
and yesterday about 52 thousand people suddenly came over and took a look, about 7 thousand an hour for 4 hours.
And I have no clue why. I was up in El Segundo at the Hot Wheels show.
Anyone know a good free online software gadget that monitors traffic to and from a website? Feedjit shut down last week after a dozen years, and though you could only see the last 50 or so hits, and what they popped over to see, it was still kinda useful to see what people were interested in
I'd guess it was the Hot Wheels info. Hard to be sure since you post so much good stuff every day.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't posted anything yet, and was in El Segundo when all that traffic happened...
DeleteI might have something to do with the Hotwheels posts, or it might be foreign agents trolling for user info.
ReplyDeletetrolling would have this sort of appearance? As if 50k people came, 7 thou an hour for 4 hours?
DeleteUm, not sure about the trolling, but 50,000 is one hell of a lot of hits in that short a time. Shows just how good you blog is Jess. Could you imagine if even half of them had left a comment?
DeleteOh, man I'd be responding for years!
