  On July 4th, 2012; I noticed a large.. erm, HUGE spike in site views. recently my site avg views is 110-175, but on July 4th it was 659. I am not sure if this is due to a glitch in something on the site, or if this number is correct.

  If you have any information that can help me let me know.

  It’s probably real. Did they go to a particular post, did your search terms reflect a spike in searches for one term?

  What’s weird is that they only hit the main page. None of the views went elsewhere on the site.

  Anything under Referrals? If you got on Reddit or something that would account for it. Or a media mention in the paper, tv or radio.

  For some reason only 213 of the views are showing referrals, and those are all from wordpress.com and search.google.com/#?. I don’t know what happened, but so far the site views are back at the normal level, so it might have just been a huge number of people looking at the site.
