It would be great to hear that traffic is higher than we've all thought it's been. I looking forward to hearing something soon.

We've been averaging around 75 views a day then all of a sudden had hundreds of referrals from WP, then back to normal (ie no WordPress referrers).
I did get a message from someone at WordPress saying that there were some new plans for measuring traffic - as they'd been under-reporting traffic for some time. I guess we might here more next week when they're all back - hope so.

That's a great point, but I'm not sure if that happened or who it would be. I wonder if there is a way to find out. I don't have any new comments and my site stats are only showing the number of hits to the homepage and posts... no referrers or links from which they are coming. My facebook fan page isn't showing any odd increase like the site is either.

Thank you for your thoughts... if you think of anything else please send it along.

The other day I suddenly had what seemed like a ton of traffic, and it was because a more established blogger had linked to my blog in a tweet. I had no idea until one of the visitors commented and said "i came here because of so-and-so's tweet"

Most days I have in the area of 30-40 hits and suddenly tonight I already have 230+. Can you see from your end if there is something strange happening? Increased traffic is my goal and it is fantastic if it's real : ) Just not sure why today it would have spiked this degree. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nancy
