The last few days my stats have skyrocketed. Normally, yeah. A good thing. But I’m a bit suspicious.
I’m just showing a dramatic increase in the number of Views. There are NO correlating number of Likes or Comments. This happened a few years ago where I had a gazillion number of views of my photos.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is someone, perhaps, hacking me or otherwise acting in a nefarious manner?


Just a thought…sometimes when I ‘discover’ a new blog that interests me, I’ll check out older posts to get a feel for the blogger’s style. I don’t like to leave ten likes at a time, so that’s a situation where I’ll just read through the material.
Hmmm. Food for thought. Thanks!
Yes, I have seen the same thing yesterday and today. Seems odd. I have no clue.
Odd, indeed. Thanks, Sandy. Glad – I guess?!?- to know I’m not the only one this is happening to!
Let me know if anyone is able to shed any light on this. Thanks.
WP stats are notoriously unreliable. Google analytics keeps more accurate and detailed statistics that you can use to compare. (PS- My hubby is a PhD statistician and I had him look at my stats years ago because they are so hinky.)
‘Notoriously Unreliable’ – great name for a rock band. HA! Thanks, Cindy. Good to know. I wonder if it’s some kind of bot. Has to be something like that, methinks!
