Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for predicting and classifying events that create a sudden and substantial increase in network traffic activity. To begin, a sales event may be predicted based on the results following the search for one or more prediction factors that occur during a predefined period of time. Based either on the individual results of each evaluation or a combination of results of the search of two or more of the prediction factors, a sales event may be predicted. Additionally, upon detection of a sudden and substantial increase in network traffic activity, one or more classification factors may be evaluated to determine whether the cause of the increase is due to a sales event or other type of alternative activity event.
