Crazy Old Google

Hi All,

This week, Tuesday and Wednesday specifically, traffic tripled (actually it was close to being quadrupled) to one of our sites. The search terms that we were getting traffic for went from about 15,000 per day to over 81,000 per day from google...I'm talking search terms that we actually get traffic for here, not unique visitors (some of them we get over 5,000 unique visitors per day per term, some we only get 1 visitor per day on).

Then on Thursday, it all went right back down to what the site's been getting for months. Understand the site does well, just not as well as it has done over the last 4 years.

I'm just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them this week. Or did you have the opposite happen Tuesday and Wednesday, 8/28 & 29, of this week?

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this happened?
