Hey y'all!

Quick question. I'm lookin' through my Statcounter reports, and noticed that one of the sites got a sudden increase in traffic. My sites do horribly traffic wise, like 5-10 visitor a day. But yesterday there were 37. And the majority of them had the same referer link. Where it shows the page they landed on, it's to a post I made back in May. And, most of these visitors are international (Russia, Mexico, etc).

So, is there a way I can find out why the sudden increase? Even if it's just temporary, I'd like to know if it's cuz a somethin' I did, so I can do more of it. And these people are scattered across the globe, so how is it they all went to the same page? And why am I getting so much international traffic?

Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.

Later,

Mr. G

    I will recommend going back to the referring website and checking to see if there is a link to your website over there.

      A referral link means that someone has linked to your site. Go to the referring URL and see who/why it was posted.

      I think he mentioned they have the same referrer link. Now, what this means that your referrals are actually working for you. IF you do have a referral program in place. After all, a referrer link is just that, a link from one of your referral program members. Apparently this person has been promoting your site and using the link as his promotional link. Whatever he is doing seems to be working fine. If you do not have a referral program in place then you must analyze what it is and how it is that you left the link at this site and consider implementing the same strategy.

      Remember, when doing a backlink building campaign, it is imperative that we consider not only the PR of the site but also the content relativity to our own keywords.
