Here are my “norms”, as you can see, this is a pretty big shift!

September 30 – Nov 11 Geographic Breakdown:

And Yesterday (Spike 2)

So it looks like I’m a hit in England, on certain days, this fall. Or maybe it’s something more sinister. Any thoughts? These are unique visitors, from the same geographic area, but not the same address!
