Weird visitor stats

    Hi,

    Since February 6, my site has been getting weird surges in traffic. Normally, I’d get about 200 visitors a day, but on Feb 6 I got 2000+, then it went back to normal for a few days and then Feb 13, 6000+, then 13,000+, today it went up to 22,000. This may seem an odd thing to complain about, but the figures are clearly not genuine. Referrals from other sites aren’t higher than normal, there’s no increase in comments, and there’s no indication of a particularly viral post.

    The visits appear to be all coming from the US and are scattered across multiple pages on the blog. I suspect it’s all a phantom in the data i.e. there are no additional visits but US traffic is being recorded incorrectly?

    My main problem with it is that, assuming its not genuine traffic, I don’t know what the actual traffic on the site is.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
