Unexplained spike in click-throughs...
Our first affiliate site is due to go live in the next week or so.
We're using a database feed from Webgains and have noticed a huge spike in click-throughs in the past 48 hours (500+ per day) that bears no relation to the tiny amount of visitors (<10) we've been getting during the non-promoted dev phase. No sales though.
We have just registered the site with Google webmaster tools - can this be related? Does anyone know if automated bots/scripts can cause spikes in click-throughs or are all clicks visitor-generated?
We're also talking this through with Webgains who are looking into it.
Cheers all.
