I just looked at the charts for the backlinks pointing to bitcoin.org (
https://ahrefs.com/site-explorer/overview/subdomains/bitcoin.org), and since about the 19th of September the number of links has gone through the roof! Overall the count has gone from about 4.6 million on 16 Sept to 5.5 million as of today - on September 19/20 alone, there were more then 250K new links added!
This seems to be very good news, although I have to wonder if there is a problem somewhere just contributing to the count? The spike is new links seems quite extreme.
From a quick check it looks like many more places are adding support for accepting Bitcoin as payment, which is great, but seems to have come out of the blue. Any thoughts on this? Any anomalies in the counting process that ahrefs uses that could account for this? Any other reason for the sudden spike?
