Experienced hubbers - why am I seeing Google real time visitors from the International Space Station - Control Room? 41 of them at once! With the circle moving across the map?
Do they need to know how to fix a leaky toilet? Have they been invaded by ET's? Why have they been over Africa for several minutes now?
I've had visitors from the white house before, but this one is new.
Help!
This explains it:

That's funny! Glad I caught it - it really impressed my wife.
You should watch the video about Google Nose. Pretty amusing the lengths google goes to for April Fools.
Did you click the beta button for it on a normal search? Just do a search and sure enough; there's the nose(beta) button right there, just waiting to be clicked. And then click the "try" button!
Hilarious!
I lied, too - the space station is now over Australia. So when it gets above the US will I see 141 visitors from there instead of 41?
Good question... I just wonder what else google has in store for us.
Gotta wonder.
But did you click the search button? You've got to check that one out - I won't reveal the end result.
I just found it myself and was going to post a thread about it. I thought of an April Fools joke, but only after I thought of Google getting hacked first. Very clever and funny!!!

I have hubs within a couple of niches which I don't cover all that much; meaning, I don't have that many hubs in those niches. A good number of those hubs have a high bounce rate. So, I'm considering unpublishing those, putting them somewhere else. However, some of them get a good amount of traffic...

It seems to me they are. You find out what's searched on the Internet and put it in the title of your article. But it seems to me, some of it is just logic; What will someone likely type into the search engine? No one is going to search for "how to pay attention instead of getting wrapped up...

I noticed on my Adsense that Google has suddenly become very unhappy about our not having the +1 button on our hubs.I know this issue has been addressed before. Looks like it is time to address it again.Google, themselves, have stated that having this button will have a positive effect on search...
