Has anyone had this happen on their site?

Post by snap624 » Mon Aug 23, 2010 12:41 pm

A visitor clicked on a couple pages found one item and ever since then we have been getting a hit on that same page every minute by different ip addresses. It obviously seems automated. Just curious as to what this was about and if we should be concerned. It's not a popular item, but that does not seem to be the point. Since we've had some fraud orders recently, we are a little concerned this is fraud related.

Possibilities

* The user finds an item that he/she is interested in. The user tweets about that item. The user has got hundreds of followers on twitter. The followers follow the link to your site.

* The user finds an item of his/her interest and posts it on a forum that is followed by thousands of users.

* The user find an item of his/her interest and posts it on his/her facebook page with an interesting description. His/her followers swarm to your site.
