Given that there doesn't appear to be any jump in page views or reach as measured by Alexa [1], I would be inclined to assume it is some sort of a glitch with our counting infrastructure. It is hard to imagine any simple external process creating a real 50% jump in traffic. If I recall correctly, Google is the largest single referrer and they only account for 30% of traffic or something, so they would have to more than double their referrals to raise our views +50% in a month. More likely than not, this is some sort of an error in counting for the current month.
