erroneous blogspot hits?
  • Taylor T-SidesTaylor T-Sides
    I've been getting a lot of random hits lately, specifically from blogspot blogs, which confuses me, because I have no affiliation with them aside from the account I use to comment with. I'm completely perplexed. I don't have ads or anything like that, and I thought maybe they were links from elbo.ws/hype, but I haven't been in the tops of either in quite awhile. I thought maybe it was just a freak happening for a day or two, but it's been this way for the past week at least.  Just curious is anyone else is seeing an increase in traffic from blogspot domains, or if this is just a random occurance. (I'm def. not complaining.)

    If you've commented on their blog, your name is normally a url to your site so people are just finding out what/who/where you are etc probably.

    If you haven't commented I'm pretty sure its a conspiracy. shh.

    but it's not people whose blogs I comment on! and it's not blogs that link to me in posts or on their sidebar! i don't know what's going on. again, not that i'm complaining.

    Yup - I've been getting a few of these too. I much prefer the conspiracy answer but it is possible to spam referrer info, so that's always what I have thought they were doing.



    Especially as certain type of euro pr0n have nothing to do with my blog at all as far as I can see ;)

    I don't get that many hits (12-1500 on a normal day) and I have found that a lot lately come from random google searches like "Summer mix indie" and "icky thump album" and "ryan adams songs" things of that nature.

    i know that when you post, just as you've posted, your blog is the one that comes up when someone clicks next blog. but that wouldn't count for many, unless you've been posting a whole whole lot.

     and that would be more applicable for someone who has a blogger blog, right? I'm not even hosted by blogger/blogspot.

    ah so.
