I have no idea where all this traffic has come from...

Have you experienced more traffic?

Re the links, I agree with BenFox. But visually inspect the list of links to see if there's anything strange just in case. It could as BenFox said, perhaps a handful of blogs with sitewide links just had more of their outbound links counted.

Keep us updated. ;)
