Ask HN: Why a surge in direct traffic after running a FB ad?

1 pointsby swandivealmost 11 years ago
Any ideas why we&#x27;d start receiving abnormal direct traffic to our site after testing out a Facebook ad for one day?<p>Our traffic isn&#x27;t huge, but on a typical day we receive around 300 direct hits with a 32% bounce rate.<p>After running the Facebook ad for 24 hours (it then expired), our direct traffic went to around 800 hits with an 86% bounce rate.<p>It appears that all of the new direct traffic is from the US, but it&#x27;s from pretty obscure locations.<p>Any ideas?<p>Thanks, T
