Who has a football (soccer) website?

[Jeffrey]

My soccer website (Soccerly.com) has a sudden rise of visits in the last three days. It only averages 200 visits a day, then it shoot up to 1,000 a day.

What could have caused this? Is it because of the on going football transfers? Particularly, the Kaka and Ronaldo news?

I also exchanged link with a site with PR3, and the anchor text i used was "soccer news" then it can now be seen in the second page in Google. It was in in 35th to 40th page prior to that. Could this be the reason too?

I'm a bit concerned about this, my webhost might complain for being a resource hog, and let me upgrade or transfer to another host. The site is not earning that much.

How much bandwidth are you using up since the surge? <How much are you allowed to use?>

Who is your web host?

And, what sort of a hosting do you have, is it a VPS or a Shared hosting account?

Share all those details and I'll try and guide you :gl:

Don't worry, 1,000 hits /day is pretty minimal traffic and most of the hosting companies out there can handle such surges.
