    Ever have a site suddenly start making sales out of nowhere?

    Maybe it was the google shakeup but I have a blog - and one sponsor on that blog in particular - that went from very modest traffic levels and not really many sales to suddenly having a ton of traffic and a bunch of sales. By suddenly I mean over the last five days. On the sponsors refferal stats all of the sales are coming from weird google strings..many from local versions of google like google.de and even one from google.gt which I had to look up to find out was Guatemala (didn't know google had one there). Would you think it was legit or something weird was going on?

    I've tried to icq the contact on the stats page to have them just take a look over the sales to make sure they look okay but they are never online and trillian isn't letting me offline them.

      as long as you tried to contact them its probably going to be ok...i've had that happen to me but usually it makes more sense then your situation since your traffic is coming directly from google..

          Google can be weird, two months ago it suddenly grabbed a sponsor link of mine (not a search engine friendly one) and listed it on top of the search results for this site, loads of signups and after a month is disappeared from google again...BAH

                  I just wish I could follow the strings on the refferal page and find my site listed under that term.

                      Happens every once in a while.. an old site or a site i haven't finished or haven't updated in ages with hardly any traffic will start making killer sales.

                          Sales and traffic can be very unpredictable at times.

                                              The ones that piss me of are when that happens and you haven't even got a clue what one of your sites the traffic is coming from.

                                              The sales just start coming in.....

                                                  Yeah! It rocks. Try and duplicate whatever it was you did. Try and remember anything you may have done in the past 8 weeks and you may come upon it.

                                                                                          I'd rather it not be a mystery so I could do it again but unexpected money is always good.

What it looks like is that some of the regional google's are showing up my referal link in the first page of searches for the sponsor's name. So, enjoy it while the sun shines.
