Increase in traffic for Mobilink Pakistan (410-01) around 2013-12-02
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

The total of zero=410-01 tagged requests jumped from
~150K requests/day before 2013-12-02 to ~320K requests/day on
2013-12-02, and finally to ~500K requests/day. Staying around ~475K
requests/day since then.

Is this sane traffic increase, or did something break?

Hi Dan -- can you answer here?

thanks,

I did some preliminary analysis before Christmas, and Adam pointed me towards
carrier advertising around that time. That is backed by the referrers

that we're starting to see around that time. But we're also having a huge
increase in “-” referrers. Since, Christmas got in the way, and we're
currently fighting on other ends as well, I am not done with analysing
the issue.
