For the last month, 80% of my total traffic was coming from just one Town in the USA. Here are the attributes:


It is one of the richest towns in California in USA which defies logic since I run a website for coupons.
The bounce rate is not 100%. It is around 80%. I read on this forum and it talked about how the bounce rate should be very close to 100% if it is a bot.
Almost 98% of visitors from this town show up as new visitors.
Around 20% of this traffic shows up as coming from Stumble Upon with a Bounce Rate of 57%. The other 80% shows up as coming DIRECT to website. (Hardly unlikely since we just started the website).
50% of Visitors are using Chrome, 30% Firefox and 20% Safari.


Can anyone tell me how to check if all this traffic from one town is real or fake? I am concerned that DIRECT Traffic is highly unlikely since this is a very competitive market and we just got started.

Enable logging of your visitors in your site , and check whether they are coming from different ipaddress or same. If they are not from same IP then most probably they are genuine traffic

If it is natural, then no issues. But Bounce rate should not exceed 40% and above.
