Default Spike in traffic - conversion rates too high, how can I lower them?

A spike in traffic made my conversion rate go above 5%. I always try to stay below 5%, so I need to dilute my conversion rate with some clicks. Have you guys ever been in this situation before? What did you do?

Enjoy the ride. Maybe you could set up a nuclear option.
As soon as it goes above 5%, zap. Site blows up.

Where on earth do you people get this stuff?

Maybe you could hire me to come and do some clicking.
