[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.]
Here is another question. How can a site that 4 weeks ago was averaging 40-70 hits a day suddenly rise to over 1700 and 3538 in one day. The site only contains one page about the subject and to boot the whole page is made from links to other reference sources, with no original material of it's own. The site owner happens to be a Java engineer (spooky coincidence). I asked a friend who is also a software engineer and he said that he could write an applet in about 20 minutes that would replicate this increase. Maybe I should try it for myself, but that would be unfair to all the hard working web designers and owners.
