Silly site statistics

I was doing some quick checking on some statistics that I’m writing up, and site statistics can do some weird things when you’re not looking. I used to check my stats almost constantly, but I’ve given up that habit as my available time has disappeared.

For some reason my pageviews went through the roof last November, while my number of visists kept going on in a sensible incline. Check out this graph:

I have no idea what’s causing the disparity, and I’m pretty damn sure I don’t legitimately get almost as many pageviews a month as Fred Wilson does, so I wonder what happened in November that sent those numbers soaring.
