We experienced a huge surge in web traffic and WL7 usage yesterday, trying to scour all sources to determine the source. Does anyone have any clues?

Traders liked your volume proile new video maybe).

I have no idea actually, I posted no links near this date)).

I really hope this traffic was valid. Did you check the traffic metrics? I guess you did.

If there were new users as a result of this traffic anomaly, maybe you could ask them personally).

The surge was in the form of web page impressions, which didn't translate to a significant number of new signups.

Note, WL7 usage also peaked on Jan 19!

I don't know what's your goal.

Is it to verify whether this traffic valid or not. Or to define the source to use it for spending marketing budgets or something).

I also don't know what data you got. And what does this anomaly look like - is it x2, x10, x100. There are different metrics you can check to compare this traffic and the benchmark one, like previous week traffic. WL7 usage can be different, licenced users or trial users. If not trial - were these users active before 19 january etc. I have no idea what kind of data you can operate. I know that Eugene can track WL7 logins, hardware tokens for example).

Was this post B45 release? Were specific website pages targeted? do you have geolocation or IP tracking (Google Analytics should give you an idea of this) to determine if it was a single origin or multiple.

I've been testing my updater which requests the Change Log Pages for comparison to local versions. But I don't think my tests would have caused a noticable surge.
