Has Google changed its algorithm? My traffic has almost doubled and I don't know why.
-
My traffic has nearly doubled over the past few days, and my conversion rate has doubled as well.
It looks like our rankings haven't changed...
We haven't done anything to the site recently, although we did submit a couple of press releases through the wire not too long ago (within the last few weeks).
I do not think that this is a cyclical/seasonal jump in traffic because last year this did not occur.
Any ideas?

Product feeds are typically for eCommerce. It looks like you're in the mortgage business, so I don't know if there is something comparable or not. Perhaps someone in these forums can help us out on that. There may be a news feed or something similar.
Google, Bing and The Find will let you send them a product feed for free (as opposed to running a pay per click or pay per acquisition campaign).
Let's use Google for example. In short, our feed automatically sends Google our products with images, product name and info snippet with updates every day. Products in the feed are displayed in Google organic search and Google shopping. There are no pay per click or pay per acquisition charges.

Whats a product feed?
-
heh..... Christmas Bills was my guess.. but you said this didn't happen last year.
Is there a mortgage program or deduction in play?
-
Did someone add your site to a product feed while you were on a holiday vacation? Nothing like a product feed to put you on page one and increase your traffic/conversions by 30-50%.

This site resell affiliate traffic - so if you've visitors from this source, than somebody definitely register account and add you site.. if traffic stopped it can be trial $10.

My popular landing pages are all the same...
We're getting more referral traffic from searchcaveman.com - what is that? It still doesn't account for everything though.

Awesome news!
Check out you analytics account and track where the traffic came from...Has it come from a variety of sources or just a single source?
Maybe another website has just linked to you? or your being found for many more key terms?
Or your ranking well for a phrase your don't know about?
Analytics will be able to tell you.

How does switching to HTTPS effect Google Analytics?
We are looking at making our site HTTPS. We have been using the same Google Analytics account for years and I like having the historical data. All of our pages will be the same, we are just going to redirect from the http to https. Does anything need to be done with Google Analytics? What about other addons such as Optimizely, Crazy Egg, or Share this?

Google Analytics censoring keywords?
The top keyword on our real time GA is showing as a blank. There's a topic of a sexual nature in our talk threads trending on Twitter right now which is driving a lot of traffic and I'm wondering whether Google have censored the keyword. The next few keywords are our name and variants of. Could there be some other reason why this word isn't showing up? Has anyone else experienced this?

Does using Google URL Builder override original source in Google Analytics?
During a free trial on Tatango, we send daily emails to customers to give them advice, resources, etc. We started using Google URL Builder http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=55578 to create individual links in each of these emails, but when the customer purchases a subscription now, the source in GA isn't Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. they are all showing up as the source we created using the URL builder for each email. Does Google URL builder override the original source in Google Analytic?
