A strange thing happened to me while I was working on the DTP site. Over the course of approximately 11 minutes, the number of visitors on that site jumped from about 4 to 50 and then back down to 2. I did notice that hits on the Cast page, our most popular page, had gone from a total of 514 to 552 since the last time that I had checked about 4 hours earlier. So maybe they were real visitors, and not some kind of computer glitch somewhere in the world.
On the other hand, before that momentary flood, there had never been more than 10 people on the site at any one time, to my knowledge. This event did occur after I had been awake since early that morning, but I did take a screen capture to make sure that it was true, and it was true. Did the counter burp? Our site has only been up for less than a month, and I have done no formal advertising. Any thoughts? Were these real visitors? Thanks! The site is here in case you wanna look: http://www.digitaltippingpoint.com
