I've had a couple of articles experience a big surge in views in the last couple of days. It's some time since that last happened. We went through a period when it happened frequently.
I thought the current surges might be caused by a Google update, but unfortunately, the views aren't coming from Google.
Any increases in views, no matter how brief or whatever their source, are welcome of course. However, it's still no substitute for a long term lift in search engine traffic.
I see some surges, too. Most of them are Dengarden articles. I wonder it it's because the editors are concentrating on Dengarden articles pursuant to the latest Google update.....
Yes my overall views have almost doubled in the last three to four days, daily. Mind you coming off a very low base.
Plus some daily Amazon sales that I haven't seen in a long time.
Might be room for a little optimism here.
That's awesome. Optimism is good. I am happy with my overall views and Amazon, too.

As I said in the post, the source isn't Google in my case, although you're right that there's some update-related general turmoil going on due to the core update.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, to balance out your increases I am showing decreases. No. Please don't thank me.
Same here. I see no surges. Maybe a slight bump in total traffic the past couple days but nothing measurable.
That's the case for me too generally and overall. No change.
The main surge came from MSN, which usually means the article being featured on their page. That was common for a time and then stopped. That's why I thought it worthy of mention.

WTH happened overnight with my account? I just checked my stats and my page views are almost at an all time low - even lower than after the Panda update. Now down to 700 views (after subdomains was about 5,000 views a day - since then been hovering at around 2 - 2,500 views a day) That's a drop in...

A couple years ago in 2011, I had a hub on another account that went up to 5000 views rapidly. Eventually it waned to about 1000-1300 views. Now after a couple years it gets about a few hundred views a day astonishingly. Would that hub be defined as "going viral?" I know it's not...

If you have been following me on the forums, you know that I had a massive drop in views long before any of the other issues happened with HP. I had no penalties or warnings from G, so with the help of many writers here, I started making changes. Since I had no idea as to what happened,...

Here's my problem, it's stagnant!I find that when a hub takes off the better performing ones fall back. My traffic has had the same average views for months even though a few of my hubs have finally gone wild.It's not like my entire account is suffering. Whenever there is a Penguin strike,...

Here is a screen shot of the big page view drop I had to deal with last August. I wanted to share this a long time ago, but just recently learned how to do it. Look at the August 25-27 date...down 90% within two days, and I still have never been able to figure out what...
