Not sure of the reason, could be a million and one, but the internet can see a website getting thousands of hits per second down to a couple per month. I get on av 50 per day, but its shot to 400 or so on some days. I also get some times of the month when search engines visit and it gives me a few hits that way. Would love to explain it for you, but it could well be a mystry. If he has a form of stats running on the server, he can see where the hits came from and possibly see where they are from and all that info. I can get the last 300 visitors up on my stats, with all there info.
