As y'all SEO grandmasters in this forum know (pls correct as i am not), that google sends hundreds of refresh hits on popular sites with popular terms - not necessarily with what end user search keywords (i.e. google knows disney or any names associated with the brand is generating possible revenue hits for them so a massive crawl fest happens when disney the user posts a content. Notice that only when disney's thread is refreshed, there's forum glitches, not when his thread is buried).

TL;DR: forum gets google crawled hard only when disneyland usa adds new post thus bumping his thread up to newest post. Hard google crawl = forum overload on hits

From what I know of SEO, search engines stopped giving as much credit to sources from forums, as it used to be a major blackhat tactic to increase a sites visibility on the search engines. Google's panda and penguin update long since made forum sources obsolete forms of SEO. And if I'm not mistaken, hummingbird update actually causes penalty if these tactics haven't been cleaned up, in an effort to de spam the Web

Plus, you would think things like "benjamin" or "yeah" or "dissonance" would cause the same type of trends in their respective journals. As those are common words, directly used in usernames on the forum.

But I must say I am mighty suspicious myself. There do exist software that send massive amount of traffic to websites. It's a form of malicious attack, along the lines of hacking but without compromising your security. It just floods the system.

I implore IML to look at Google analytics and see where the traffic is being directed from. It's pretty easy to spot something suspicious.

"disneylandusa experiences" is nr. 1 in google.
"disneylandusa" is on page 3.

And dont tell me that there arent any results in keyword planer for that... do you really think that people do not seach for experience reports before they book expensive tickets? Or want to compare their own experiences to that of others and talk about it ect?

Crawling and indexing is not the same.

There is not necessarily a correlation between sites that google knows and those it shows if you do a search query.

Yes, I am somewhat use to it. However, it gets real annoying and ridiculous when you want to read people's journals but you can't because of this problem.

I can load one page, then that's it for at least 10 minutes. The Disneyland thread was dormant for a while, the views on this thread increased massively because of dmsi hype now suddenly it's started catching up again in views and the site again is almost unusable at times. How come the site worked fine when we were all online for days waiting for DMSI. But now it's like, nah max limit reached.

Lol why is good looking loser 3rd.

Bruh, it ain't that serious man. Your phone is expensive, mayne.
