Hi,

I recently had an isolated traffic boost on my website, and I have no idea how to figure out how it happened. I've checked my GA, and it all points out that the traffic came from organic traffic, but apart from that I don't have more data.

Any ideas on how can I figure out how the traffic got generated?

Thanks in advance!

    There is Too much reasons for this. Did your site added to Google index? What about robots.txt, sitemap.xml ? Meta-titles?

      Hey,

      Yeah, all of that was done, before the peak, I'm talking about a peak that lasted a day, just a traffic increase on a particular date, and I would like to find the origin.

      My Site is indexed; I have meta tags, alt attributes, and so on. But all this was done way before that peak, therefore not explain it. For what I can see (what GA tells me) the traffic was originated by an increase in Organic Search, more specifically, Search traffic, but Google does not provide any more in depth data, (regarding the queries submitted or anything). So, I was wondering if it's possible to figure out more about this. And, if so, how?

        It might also be GA spamming, I would take a look at your website logs for that day to check where the traffic really came from.

          I thought of that too, but I have filters for spamming and checking the bounce rate, page per sessions and other metrics the users and sessions seem to be fine. So I guess they are not spammy fake users.

            Then you need to dig around in the webserver logs to see if there are any clues there.
