Biggest Surge Ever?
That's crazy, Paul. Congrats! I had one to surge around the same time. It wasn't nearly as much as your surge, but the article did get a couple thousand more views per day than normal. It's winding down now at hundreds more than normal. I appreciate the extra pocket change.
Enjoying it while it lasts. I may even make payout after a couple dry months.Surges from Google where it's obvious why, I've had maybe 10,000 for a day. My Freddie Mercury article got a lot of attention, for instance, when the movie Bohemian Rhapsody came out a few years back.
Other, more random surges, e.g. where MSN highlights an article, I normally just get hundreds, or maybe one or two thousand at most, though it can (rarely) get up to 5 or 6 thousand views.
I've had nothing at this level before.
I've got lots of hubs spread over ten accounts and I've been around for years, so I'm going to experience my portion of random rare events here, I guess.
I still think that chasing solid, reliable, daily Google traffic is the main aim, though. Surges are fun, but they are here today and gone tomorrow.
I used to get around that... back in those good old days of 2018/19
9K would be beyond my wildest dreams now 
Well done, Paul, enjoy the glory.Hell, no... all the articles
Thank you for your kind words chef, and yes, I agree.
I sometimes get the impression from the forums that many good writers here don't publish much anymore, some haven't produced anything new for months or even years.
I've actually produced more material in the last 18 months or two years than at any point previously. Sometimes it feels like treading water in terms of views and earnings, I'll admit. It's good to get anything in the current climate.
Yes, happy for three or four days, at least...

Surge in traffic anyone?
At the beginning of December my traffic was down by around 60%. My hubs were in the same position in the SERPs as they had been previously, so the whole situation was rather odd. Today however, my traffic is up to pre December levels and climbing. Anyone else experiencing a surge in traffic?
