Just Wondering...

Post by Serpent's Sister »

As a frequent visitor to this forum, I always look at the bottom of the page to see who is logged on and how many visitors there currently are. I am curious as to what happened on July 2, 2007 that 180 people flocked to your site all at once?
Hopefully you'll blow that old record out of the water next week !!
Is there a relationship between worm and spice?

That was most likely due to Google 'bots scavenging the site for data which they index for search results. I've logged in before with 80+ users and seen 75 of them were Google bots.

The most legitimate users I've ever seen was around 50 when the trailer was released, and I do hope we see a lot of people around on the 19th to give their impressions.

75 google bots at the same time ???
WOW
I have no clue about how google works though... odd.
I've seen the same on other sites (a stupidly large number of visitors the same day, far far more than usual), so that would explain. I learn something new everyday.
