I looked at my google analytics for saturday and saw that I recevied 207 visits from mountain view, CA, and the network was google. It looks like all the page views were to the index page. Anyone have any speculation on the sudden interest in my site? I don't get alot of traffic. Some by adwords, some by yahoo, 1 or 2 from msn. The only thing I can think of is that I just submitted an article to 200 sites. Could this be related? And just to clarify, 207 hits were not search results, but someone(s) at google typing the address in. I also ran linkslueth, which yanked the urchin.js on each page of my site, but that shouldn't have triggered it could it?

It can be Google web accelerator users if it is from one of these ip:
72.14.192.*
64.233.172.*
64.233.173.*
72.14.194.*

Google emps did not visit your site 200 times. Somehow I don't think everyone at the Plex stopped working: "Oh my gawd, he submitted the site to all these article hubs" ;)

Maybe you use a G service and confused the IPs...

I will check my logs to verify the ip address range

pm if you want the site I did it through, $15 for submission to 200 sites

Im not that self-centered, I'm just drawn that way.

Im just trying to figure out why my site got hit 200 times from google in Mountian View. I offered up some information about what has changed over the past 2 days to see if it is related.

Your site could have been mention in some kind of inter-company memo/email and curious employees checked out your site.

Maybe Google was having a large company meeting and during the meeting everyone was instructed to go to your site as a reference.

Or, anyone of a million other reasons :)

maybe they'll buy my site for 1.65 billion dollars, i of course would have WebmasterWorld to thank for that.

It was probably through Google Translator.
