I just mean checking the traffic of all the Search Engines in analytics. I had a spike in sales for BlokeToys recently and couldn't find out what had changed. A cursive look at my stats didn't show anything unusual, but digging deeper I found hits from Yahoo and Bing have risen while traffic from another site dropped (giving the illusion that nothing had changed in total traffic).

It could just be that one or two of the SE's are suddenly sending you a lot more traffic, which usually means a lot more spam to go with it.

Glad you've got on top of it though. I still need to take action on a couple of my blogs, but I'll get around to it... eventually
