Andy Forsberg's Blog

So I was checking my stats today and was pleasantly surprised when I noticed a big spike in traffic. Upon further investigation all the extra traffic I received was from porn site style searches from Google and Yahoo! This made me feel less pleasant as you could imagine. I then checked out my Clicky account and it showed no sign of this extra porn traffic. Suffice to say I was a little bit confused.

Here are what each of the trends look like in Google Analytics versus Clicky for today:

Google Analytics shows traffic spike

Clicky reports no such traffic spike

Here are the top 15 keywords reported used to find my site in Google Analytics versus Clicky for today:

Has anyone else had this happen to their site recently?

These scores are better than what I thought they would be considering I just put the site online like a week ago. For some reason the Grader badge doesn’t seem to be working. I’ll be sure to scan the site again in a month or so and do a comparison. Grader seems to think more highly of my site than SpyderMate. I was hoping SpyderMate would have more love for my site.
