Sudden spike in traffic, what could it be?

It's a UK based Shopify store (not drop shipping, just a normal apparel store).

It's not an insane amount,700+ visitors with about 10-30 live at one time, but this is a lot for my store as even when I'm running ads daily traffic is only 150 - 250. I've never seen this much.

No sales and only a handful of ATC's.

The majority of traffic is coming from "search" (500+) and is for this one collection page, although a few others are also getting some traction but no where near as much. The large majority is from all over the US (400+), the rest is UK and some other European countries. Bounce rate for today on average is around 45%.

I did search my store and also that specific collection page, it doesn't seem like we've been mention anywhere.

The surge happened while my ads were paused, I just started running a campaign (trying to test reels) but it links to a specific product page and the CTR currently is quite low so I don't believe its from this. Also there's not much traffic from socials.

Unfortunately I didn't have google analytics set up, I'm currently in the process of doing this though.

Does this sound like it could be bots or spam?

It's making me feel a little anxious to be honest, since it has seemingly come from no where.

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
