Question
Ok I'm super confused. I just started my small web store.
and this morning I wake up to over 100 people looking at it at the same time.
Is this normal?
I sent out our usal email but that is only about 50 people and most live our time zone it is 8 am.
I have had 100 on my ebay store in a day but I doubt at once?
I have heard of spyder things is that what is happening??
I don't think this is real I'm so confused?
Answer
Hi Craftworks,
Your webstore looks excellent!
(then, I know your designer, soooo ... of course it does! hehe)
I was the only one showing up just now in the users online box, is that what you are referring to? There were 100 users showing up in there all at once? That would be great exposure!
Did you maybe recently submit your site to a bunch of search engines?
Or had you posted the link here at here and were in the Friday Free For All thread? You'll get a lot of views that way ...
Thats all I can think of! maybe someone else will be by to explain spiders/bots better and let you know if search engine crawlers could be to blame ... Thats just not my area
Have a great day, and much success with your store,
