I've just noticed the viewing figures of my blog - I have about 100 followers and have usually got 80-90 views which I have always thought was fair seeing the number of interested people and the articles I put up . I've never publicised my blog and have always been gratified if anybody comments or clicks to view it . However this last week or so I have noticed the views have shot through the roof ! , Topping off with over a 1000 views on the post on the Prussian Uhlans , now I suspect there must be some sort of BOT looking on !? - are there certain words which trigger the interest ? or is Big Brother genuinely interested in small glossy toy soldiers ? (click on photo to enlarge)
PS just checked back over 2 years and find all the viewing figures have mysteriously grown !!??
Big Brother IS watching!
ReplyDeleteHaving the same thing happening myself, saw on another blog that it is USA referring bots or something like that, not really up on this type of thing to be honest so not too sure if that's what is happening.
ReplyDeleteSame on mine since the beginning of August.. I usually get 100-150 and the last one got 6000+ views!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry about it, let him watch. Just bathe in the reflected glow of your viewer numbers.
ReplyDeleteI check the stats on my blog--it isn't unusual to get hundreds of hits (or even higher) in 24 hours (often originating from various overseas places--it shifts around). The bots are out there and working: goodness knows why they crawl to our blogs. So I stopped paying attention to the aggregate number of "visits" counter as some sort of measure of traffic/interest.
