Site Bandwidth

[thejerm]

First I dont think this is really a "bad thing" but ever since i moved to tch about a month ago I have noticed a HUGE increase in bandwidth to my site. I do not see any reason why it would increase this much because my content hasnt improved that much. Wondering if anyone has any idea what it could be? I do notice a bit more comment spams blocked in my MT Blacklist log. if i used mod_security would that save the bandwidth or no?

Hi thejerm,

Have you checked your logs and or awestats to see what kinds of visitors your getting ?

This could be just that your getting legit traffic increase.

I justed my stats and one thing was 77% stay less than 30sec. I am being linked from a bit of those annoying SPAMMER-BEWARE sites, i guess those are from my pre-blacklist days. I do have many "off the while" host. Previously i had never gone over 500 Unique visitors now i am at 1169 Unique visitors with half the month still. I would love if they were all actrually readers but i just have this feeling that it is something else. I also have (167.5 KB/visit)... is that a lot? Maybe I am just paranoid.
