Turkey?

I wasn't sure where to post this. I've gotten a butt-ton of type-in traffic from users in the country of Turkey today. I hit my normal dialy average at 11 a.m. this morning and have twice as many visitors from Turkey than from the US. Strange considering the site is a US military site.....

 

i think its probably one of the following reasons

You are being attacked by turkish hackers (joking)
or U.S. Military people are viewing your site from a turkish military base lol

 

hackers... probably so thats the last thing I ned right now. Maybe it is a military base...it's coming from all over Turkey though, not just one city.

Very strange...my adsense profit is quadruple the norm already today and the day isn't over yet. Guess I'll hope it keeps up...wish I knew why though.

 

maybe you should check your referral traffic?

 

There is one and only one referral from http://www.ekolay.net/ the rest of the Turkey visitors ( heh ) all look like they just typed it in.

 

hmm that is pretty odd... hope its not hackers.. i was joking before but be careful the last thing you would want is google banning you...


Actually thats a search engine that referred your traffic maybe without knowing it you have an article there or something lol

 

What is your site address Brentl, I am from Turkey, maybe i have heard of it if any dump made in a social bookmarking site or news today?

 

Must be hackers searching for some security holes. check your logs. They had defaced 2 of my sites about a year ago, then i had to switch hosts and tigthen my security.

 

I'm from Turkey,too... www.ekolay.net is one of the biggest portals of Turkey...what is full url that the referrals came from? and what is your site's URL

 

Once in awhile I see a surge in traffic from a different country only to learn that an article I wrote has been picked up and disseminated by a leading news network in that country.

Consider it a good move especially if you get people who turn out to be regulars for your site.

 

Thanks guys! javagamer, would you mind looking around ekolay.net to see if there are any links to my site?

greenmarines.com

It's happening again today..my adsense is already double the norm and it's only 9:30 a.m.

 

It must be all of your Turkish friends...enjoy the increased earnings!

 

Yeah , thanks Matt, the Turkish are some Adsense clicking maniacs! LOL.
My articles are seeing a 28% CTR...geez.

I looked again in my Google Analytics and the one referral that I see is actually arama.e-kolay.net but it resolves to http://www.ekolay.net/. I just hope I can find out why this is happening...so i can repeat it.

 

arama.e-kolay.net is the search of site which powered by google...

you shouldn't worry about that...

 

e kolay is a big and powerful portal in turkey. dont worry its a good think

whati is your site?

 

Thanks, yes I noticed their search was powered by Google. Still though I only had one visitor referred from that site. The rest have all typed in the domain name directly into their browser. Can't figure out why the suden exposure to Turkey...

The site is greenmarines.com

 

What is your daily hit in turkey?

 

i found that some of news sites says that " sites like military.com , greenmarines.com which are related with military, are publishing some videos american soldiers take at Iraq"

here is an example..
here is another...

these are two of biggest news sites..

and your site's name isn't a link, so they writeit to the browser directly...

 

abi güzel yakalamışsın eline sağlık

your site is on turkish online newspaper no problem

 

Awesome - that's it! Thanks a million!
