I often look at the stats for this blog to see how many
people visit and from where. I mean, I wouldn't like to think I was talking to
myself. Recently there have been some odd numbers regarding pageviews from
Russia. The figures are:
today: zero
this week: 412
this month: 532
Very odd. There seems to have been an short but intense
interest in my blog from that country. Have Russians really been visiting or is
this part of some sinister internet scam? Any ideas.
Если вы посещаете мой блог из России, пожалуйста, дайте мне знать.

ah...comrade Stuart...I have wondered the same thing myself...just checked the 'stats' at my blog, and it seems I have readers in Russia and in Ukraine. I've asked these readers to at least leave a comment...but no response so far...some times I think I am talking to myself...(and maybe 2 or 3 regulars)...hahaha.
ReplyDeleteTraffic from Russia or Ukraine isn't actually people, but is spam bots. It is called referrer spam. I believe it isn't harmful other than screwing up the stats. Just don't click on any of the links if they show up in your stats.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe for confirming my suspicion that there was something dodgy going on.
