Sudden spike - proof content matters

By "quality" I'm assuming you mean content that
- targets low hanging fruit (low comp keywords)
- EARNS backlinks

Correct?

Quality content is important for ranking, especially over the long term. That being said, this graph doesn’t “prove” anything in particular, as there may be other factors at play.

Yes the views might be simply because someone shared the website on another platform.
 
The quality of your content will always trump SEO optimization in the long run. Remember, SEO is what brings people over to your site, while the content is what makes them come back for more.
However, the spike you’re showing here is so abrupt that it may just be the result of a fad or a fluke (such as someone with a high profile talking about or sharing your site). You should monitor the graph over the following days, and see if the trend persists. If it does, then you can safely assume that the content is causing the spike.

You can do silos, that's how content really matters, mate. Content on it's own is rarely just enough to rank, though, you can build splogs to rank with garbage content that also works, but you will get a lot LESS traffic with splogs.

What's the latest on this please?
 
Dude has one spike and acts like he discovered the seo algo.
 
Need an update on this, as I'm starting to think this core update has had a major impacted how google views "unique" content.

Started to do a few experiments and have already posted two articles to split test the theory and have updated the content on an article that dropped from #1 to #4.

I'm certainly not seeing how this can be link related. PS: The pinterest pin for my above mentioned article is now #1. (crazy)

Did you try plotting out the different search engines to validate where that traffic is coming from?

Also check if they are unique visitors and you are not being hit by the same group of people for some unkown reason? What about the bounce rate? Any info on that?

Make sure you've got only one instance of the GA tracking code installed on your site. This can lead to conflicts in your analytics data.
