Since a few weeks Google bot crawls the mobile site (on purpose, they want to know what mobile-friendly content is on the web, even though it is similar to our main site).
This makes all the difference. Here is a random example of how our traffic on smaller Wikipedias changed. http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/misc/MobileTrafficCA.png (based on Domas' hourly projectcounts files) The peak occurred at 8 March 2 AM, we find 46957 page views for that one hour. In the 1:1000 sampled squid log we should find ~47 of those. "zcat sampled-1000.log-20120308.gz | grep ca.m.wikipedia.org" yields 339 records for the whole day, most are Google bot. (some more numbers on bot share of total traffic tomorrow) Erik Zachte -----Original Message----- From: wikitech-l-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:wikitech-l-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Diederik van Liere Sent: Monday, April 09, 2012 9:28 PM To: Srikanth Lakshmanan Cc: Wikimedia developers; Diederik van Liere; Lars Aronsson Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] Page views Hi Srikanth, Yes, we are looking into the growth percentages as they seem unrealistically high.
