They say 25-30% of all hits are from bots, up from about 5% a few years ago, which reflects what I've seen on my blog. evilleMonkeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998198938697175335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870589873354977188.post-5300922831400453372013-10-19T21:01:52.100+11:002013-10-19T21:01:52.100+11:00I don't bother kidding myself.

When someone puts me on a blog list it makes my day.<br /><br />I remember when I started my blog I got a huge number of hits in one day which all turned out to be from China and there were way more hits than I had posts at the time. There was another time I got over a hundred hits in an hour which was from some bot site.<br /><br />I think there is a steady percentage that are bots but I think the main thing is to keep updating the blog. Has your number of posts dropped off or changed subject? I know that my blog takes a hit when I don't post.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16293162456263037331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870589873354977188.post-39395809068140298722013-10-18T20:12:25.993+11:002013-10-18T20:12:25.993+11:00I kid myself by mentally saying that "hits ar...I kid myself by mentally saying that "hits aren't important", but it is nice to get them. Bot activity is a problem and does skew results though. I notice that activity seems seasonable... 'Winter' being the peak and 'Summer' the trough, in a general sense at least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
