Live goes wild for one day
On a typical day I get about 110 uniques from the live.com search engine, I rank well in my search terms on live.com with several #1 rankings, I have always just assumed that their volume of searches and the typical live user don't match with my site that well. Then, a week ago, I get 12,000 uniques from live.com for a fairly obscure search term 'exercise over 60' in one day. The next day, back to a little over 100 visitors, can anybody think of a reason for one day that there would be such a flood of searches? I have seen media events cause a spike, but then have it followed by a gradual fall off over the next few days until it is back to normal levels, but in 12 years of Internet, nothing like this.
I use Google Analytics to know where the traffic is from and the keywords, I was traveling the day of the spike and didn't get into the raw logs before they got removed.
