178K is the biggest I can find a screenshot proof of: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Aa7f-uvCMAQF1th.png

Thats on one site out of 8 that share the same cluster/platform, so the net total would have been in the mid 200K's.

edit: props to chartbeat for even being able to track such things, I'm just scaling reads, they're scaling writes.

It depends on where I pull the traffic from: when I post on social networks, like Tumblr, I usually get at most 3 concurrent at a time. If they come from direct source they are usually more spread around the clock also due to their time zones differences. The peak I had was when I wrote a comment on the Sex channel on Reddit right after the launch of my platform (http://www.sexycrets.com) a few months ago.

I think somewhere around 6000. Is there a way to see this easily on Google Analytics?

Also you have to precise. I was removing a real visitor after 30 seconds. Some websites I know are doing it after 2 minutes... It changes your numbers a lot.
