An Explosion of Views
Woman in the Middle | April 22, 2016I was very busy yesterday and didn’t really look at my bog. When I opened it up today what I saw was so surprising I about fell out of my chair. Yesterday I had 559 hits on my blog. Today, so far, 160. Usually a good day around here is 35 views. But no comments, no likes. So I assume it is some sort of trolling mechanism that is looking for something and decided to look at me.
As I contemplated why this may be happening (if that is even what is happening – who knows?) I discussed it with Hubby. I realized I had a story on this here blog called “Rolling with the Stones” which is about the first time I saw the Rolling Stones in concert. It just so happens that Prince was the opening act for that show and I mention him in that post. Hubby and I started wondering if my sudden explosion of views might have had to do with Prince’s untimely death and search engines going out to find stories about him to use in all the many articles being written about him right now.
All you bloggers out there, have you ever had anything like this happen?
I hope a trolling mechanism isn’t searching your blog!
It won’t find anything interesting, so I am not worried.
It happened to me once and I never figured out what the interest was. Someone came to my site and read every post (over 600 at the time) but as far as I know they never “followed.” You at least have a theory. I had none.
Ended up being 348 yesterday and is up to 111 today. So puzzling!
