[I was just wondering, how a website in the avitop100 list can have more than 10 times the visitors on a single day, than it has on average days. Some ups and downs are normal, but that's a pretty big peek.]
Hi Peter

I know what website you are referring to and we were quite surprised as well, but after checking our stats the hits are totally legit. We also took a look at what pages were referring the hits and then everything made sense. Most of the pages creating the hits were about the AC-130H/U Gunship which have been focused on a lot the last couple of days, so the site has probably been linked from one of the major news sites.

In this particular case authentity was confirmed via IP addresses, Cookies and various header information to role out fraud.

Hope that helped.
