Is it organic traffic from Google? or Direct traffic?
You mentioned both in your question. If it is organic traffic from Google, we too noticed a change in Google traffic around that date to our various sites. It may be a recent change in Google algorithm worked in favour of your pages. |

the organic traffic from google has been consistent going up and down slightly which is normal.
however the direct traffic shot up from 1100 to 14000 a day!
i'm not too worried now since it's not eating too much bandwidth but it could cause an issue soon by bogging down all the bandwidth.
in my robots.txt i have: User-Agent: * Disallow: /rate.php Disallow: /ratewp.php Disallow: /brokenLink.php Disallow: /download.php
should i restrict the user-agent to only bing, google and yahoo to see if that might be it?
the fact that it's all US based IPs is what's weird.
