Visits still up, pages down, bandwidth crisis avoided but what’s up?

Interesting stuff… so the measures I put in place seem to have calmed the bandwidth issues but the number of visitors is still ridiculously high (this is just incsub.org btw… not edublogs) although awstats thinks they are individuals… don’t see how I can suddenly have picked up an extra 2000 uniques a day though, wonder what’s up?

spam?

(BTW yellow are number of visits, dark blue is pages, light blue is hits, and green is bandwidth.. peak visits are 6177, peak pages 37299 (!), peak hits 43339 and peak bandwidth 1.26 Gig)
